You may need to allow extra time for your commutes this week as construction work along the light rail system may cause slight delays for some MetroLink riders.

To accommodate construction work, MetroLink will operate on a single track at the Central West End MetroLink Station on Monday through Friday (February 10-14) from 8 p.m. to end of service; and MetroLink will operate on a single track at the Union Station and Civic Center MetroLink Stations on Saturday and Sunday (February 15-16) from the beginning of service to 6 p.m.

Blue Line MetroLink trains will only operate between the Shrewsbury-Lansdowne I-44 and Forest Park-DeBaliviere MetroLink Stations after 8 p.m. on Monday through Friday, and all day on Saturday and Sunday.

• 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 during these periods of single-track operation.
• Passengers should allow 10 minutes when transferring between Red Line and Blue Line trains.
