Street and lane closures for the Greater St. Louis Marathon races and festivities will impact 13 MetroBus routes operating in St. Louis on Saturday, April 27, as well as the 8th & Pine Bus Shuttle that currently serves the 8th & Pine MetroLink Station, which is temporarily closed for construction work. The road closures will be in place starting at 5 a.m. on Saturday, and will remain until the races conclude late Saturday afternoon.

The closures will require the following 13 MetroBus routes to be rerouted:

#4 Natural Bridge
#10 Gravois-Lindell
#11 Chippewa
#19 St. Louis Ave.
#30 Arsenal
#31 Chouteau
#32 Dr. ML King
#40 N. Broadway
#41 Lee
#73 Carondelet
#74 Florissant
#94 Page
#97 Delmar

In addition, on Saturday ONLY, the 8th & Pine Shuttle will operate between the Convention Center and 8th & Pine Stations due to the marathon, instead of its normal route between Civic Center and 8th & Pine Stations.

Transit customers should allow more time for their bus commutes on Saturday when the race road closures are in place. The 8th & Pine Shuttle and affected MetroBus routes will return to their normal operations when the marathon races conclude.
