Central West End MetroLink Station / Platform Extension Project

DETAILS

Construction is underway to extend the platform at the Central West End MetroLink station. The platform will remain open during the project, but temporary closures may be necessary at times during construction. Advance notice will be provided for Metro riders if temporary closures are required.

The walkway connecting the MetroLink platform at the Central West End Transit Center to the MetroBus area in the parking garage adjacent to the station is currently closed, and will remain closed for the duration of the construction project. Metro riders who transfer between MetroLink and MetroBus at the Central West End Station will now access the MetroBus area in the parking garage from Children’s Place and will access the MetroLink platform via Euclid Avenue. Signs are located throughout the area to help direct passengers.

For assistance, please use the Passenger Assist Telephones at the Central West End Transit Center, which are available 24/7. You can also contact Metro Transit Information by calling 314-231-2345 or 618-271-2345 or texting 314-207-9786, Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
