MetroLink Work Scheduled December 21-23

MetroLink passengers may need to allow extra time for their evening commutes next week as construction work along the light rail system could cause delays.

On Monday through Wednesday (Dec. 21-23) from 8 p.m. to end of service, MetroLink will operate on a single track at the Central West End MetroLink Station to accommodate construction work at the station.

During these periods, Blue Line MetroLink trains will only operate between the Shrewsbury-Lansdowne I-44 and Forest Park-DeBaliviere MetroLink Stations.

• Westbound Blue Line passengers will need to board a Red Line train between the Fairview Heights and Central West End MetroLink Stations, and travel to the Forest Park-DeBaliviere Station to transfer to a Blue Line train and continue their westbound trips.
• Eastbound Blue Line passengers will need to board a Red Line train at the Forest Park-DeBaliviere Station to continue their eastbound trips.
• Red Line MetroLink passengers may experience delays of 5 minutes.
• Passengers should allow 10 minutes when transferring between Red Line and Blue Line.
