You may need to allow some extra time for your evening MetroLink commutes this week due to construction and track maintenance work.

On Monday through Wednesday (June 21-23) from 8 p.m. to end of service, and Thursday and Friday (June 24 and June 25) from 11:30 p.m. to the end of service, MetroLink will operate on a single track at the Central West End MetroLink Station to accommodate construction work at the station.

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, 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.

Red Line and Blue Line MetroLink passengers may experience 5-minute delays on Thursday and Friday during the late evening service hours due to the construction work at the Central West End Station.
