We are caring for your system!
Beginning Friday, May 3 at 10 p.m., METRO Blue Line service will close from Fort Snelling to Mall of America stations in both directions. Replacement bus service will be available at the affected stations.
Shuttle train service between the airport terminals will remain active during this closure.
Service at all the stations will resume at 3 a.m. Monday, May 13.
Replacement bus service
Replacement bus service will be available for the affected stations and will follow the train schedule as traffic and conditions allow (4 a.m. to midnight).
See station-specific bus boarding location maps and google map routing here.
NOTE: Replacement bus timing can vary and trips may take longer because of needed routing in the area. Please plan extra time for your trip.
Preventive maintenance now ensures a longer system life and improved experience
Work being conducted includes:
- Replacing track and signal components.
- Reducing future maintenance needs.
