Construction crews will repair and resurface the MetroLink platforms at the Rock Road Station as part of an improvement project that starts on Monday, April 15. The project is expected to take approximately four weeks to complete.

Beginning April 15, the westbound platforms at the Wellston and Rock Road Stations will be temporarily closed to accommodate construction work.

During the temporary closure, all MetroLink trains will serve the eastbound platforms at the Rock Road and Wellston Stations. Customers traveling both eastbound and westbound will need to use the eastbound platforms at Rock Road and Wellston Stations to board their trains.

Red Line MetroLink trains will operate on a single track between the Wellston and Rock Road MetroLink Stations from beginning to end of service each day to accommodate the construction work. We advise customers who are traveling through the Wellston and Rock Road MetroLink Stations to pay close attention to MetroLink car signs and operator announcements to ensure boarding of your desired train. Red Line MetroLink trains may experience minor delays of up to five minutes during single-track operations. Blue Line MetroLink service will not be impacted.

Once improvements to the westbound platform are complete, crews will shift the repair work to the eastbound platform at the Rock Road Station. At that time, customers traveling both eastbound and westbound will use the westbound platforms only at Wellston and Rock Road Stations to board or exit their train.

Customers with questions or who need assistance are encouraged to contact the Metro Transit Information team Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. until 6 p.m. by calling 314.231.2345 or by texting 314.207.9786.
