Updated on September 11 to reflect additional MetroLink construction at the Union Station and Civic Center MetroLink Stations on Wednesday and Thursday (September 11 and 12).

MetroLink passengers may need to allow a little extra time for their commutes this week as maintenance work along the light rail system may cause slight delays.

On Monday through Friday (September 9-13) from 8 p.m. to end of service, and on Saturday (September 14) from beginning of service to 8 a.m., MetroLink will operate on a single track at the Brentwood I-64 and Richmond Heights MetroLink Stations to accommodate track maintenance. Blue Line customers may experience delays of up to 5 minutes. Red Line service will not be affected.

On Wednesday and Thursday (September 11 and 12) from 8 p.m. to end of service, MetroLink will operate on a single track at the Union Station and Civic Center Stations to accommodate construction work. 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.
