MetroLink passengers are encouraged to allow extra time for their evening commutes next week, as work along the light rail system may cause brief delays. On Monday through Wednesday (January 14-16) from 8 p.m. to end of service, MetroLink will operate on a single track at the Cortex and Grand MetroLink Stations to accommodate work related to the power system. 

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