Metro is performing ongoing maintenance work and station improvements which may affect your commute on MetroLink. Check our list of current projects below to follow along as we create the next generation of MetroLink and understand where you might experience delays on the system.
Secure Platform Plan Improvements
Stadium Station Closing Temporarily
- The Stadium MetroLink Station will temporarily close beginning Monday, September 22, for approximately one month. Riders should plan to use the 8th & Pine MetroLink Station for travel to and from the area.
- During the closure, construction crews will be performing concrete work to prepare for the installation of Secure Platform fencing and gates which will improve rider safety.
UMSL South Station Walkway Closure
- Beginning in the first week of September, the primary ramp and staircase entrance to the UMSL South MetroLink Station will close. A temporary pedestrian ramp will be in use nearby with regular service continuing to the station.
- During the closure, construction crews will be performing concrete work to prepare for the installation of Secure Platform fencing and gates which will improve rider safety.

Track Maintenance
Union Station Tunnel Maintenance and Related Single-Tracking Operations
Single-Tracking Schedule (Sept. 8-12): On Monday through Friday evenings from 6 p.m. to end of service, MetroLink will operate on a single track between the Union Station and Civic Center MetroLink Stations due to construction work at the Union Station tunnel.
Single-Tracking Schedule (Sept. 15-18): On Monday through Thursday evenings from 6 p.m. to end of service, MetroLink will operate on a single track between the Union Station and Civic Center MetroLink Stations due to construction work at the Union Station tunnel.
- Metro is conducting necessary maintenance work on tunnels used by MetroLink near Union Station. To facilitate construction, Metro has scheduled single-track operations during which Blue Line trains can only operate between Shrewsbury-Lansdowne I-44 and Forest Park-DeBaliviere Station.
- During these scheduled single-track operations, riders should expect to transfer between Blue and Red Line trains as needed at the Forest Park-DeBaliviere station. Red Line passengers may experiences delays of 5 minutes. Riders should allow extra time when transferring.
- Metro expects work on the Union Station Tunnel to continue until Winter 2028 but does not expect single-tracking operations will be needed for the entire project. Metro will share an update once it has scheduled an end to single-tracking operations.
