You may need to allow some extra time for your MetroLink commutes this week due to maintenance along the light rail system.

On Wednesday through Friday (November 17-19) from 8 p.m. to end of service, and all day Saturday (November 20), MetroLink will operate on a single track at the Union Station and Civic Center MetroLink Stations to accommodate maintenance of the rails and overhead power system.

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.
• Red Line MetroLink passengers may experience delays of 5 minutes.
• Passengers should allow 10 minutes when transferring between Red Line and Blue Line.
