This station is CLOSED DAILY between 10:00 P.M. - 6:00 A.M. as part of the Metro ExpressLanes project . On August 7, 2011 Caltrans began working on constructing the Metro ExpressLanes project on the 1-110 Harbor Transitway. Caltrans will install the Fastrack transponders, modify the carpool lanes, & install CCTVs on the Silver Line stations. The nightly detour takes place between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.[1] The construction is expected to be complete by September 2012. [2] Given this, the Metro Silver Line stations at 37th Street, Slauson, Manchester and Rosecrans will be closed during the designated period (10:00 p.m.- 6:00 a.m.) daily. Passengers at the Harbor Freeway/I-105 will need to board the Metro Silver Line at the Figueroa street entrance of the station (street level).

During the detour, between 4:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. there are shuttles which run on Figueroa Street between 7th St./Metro Center & Artesia Transit Center. The shuttles begins at Artesia Transit Center & makes stops at Figueroa/ 182nd street, Figueroa/ Rosecrans, Figueroa/ Harbor Freeway Station, Figueroa/Manchester, Figueroa/ Slauson, Figueroa/ Exposition, Figueroa/ Adams & then the regular Silver Line stops until 7th St./Metro Center where the shuttles terminate. These shuttles will not charge for the service. Passengers can use these shuttles to connect to the nearest Silver Line stop.[3] Moreover, Metro Express lines 450X, 460, & 550 will not serve the stations while the detour is in effect.
