Update – 6/10/2020: MetroLink will operate on a single-track at the Central West End Station all day on Saturday, June 13.

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

On Monday through Friday (June 8-12) 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. Single tracking has been extended to include all day Saturday, June 13.

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.

On Monday through Friday (June 8-12) from 8 p.m. to end of service, MetroLink will also operate on a single track at the Forsyth and Clayton MetroLink Stations to allow for track maintenance. During these periods, Blue Line MetroLink trains may experience delays of up to 5 minutes. Red Line service will be unaffected.
