Rail Closures

ATTENTION: Starting at 4 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 17: METRO Green Line service between Stadium Village and Target Field stations will be unavailable due to required maintenance. Replacement bus service will be available for these Green Line stations during this time.

The METRO Blue Line will be operating at downtown Minneapolis stations allowing Green Line customers to transfer to or from a Green Line bus or Blue Line train at U.S. Bank Stadium Station.

NOTE: Replacement bus timing can vary and trips may take longer because of needed routing and traffic conditions. Please plan extra time for your trip.

Work being conducted includes inspection, repair, and cleaning of Washington Ave. bridge.

Regular service will resume for these stations on Monday, Aug. 18.

Replacement bus service for shutdowns on the METRO Blue and Green lines

When rail maintenance, construction or other disruptions prevent light rail trains from operating, buses are used to replace rail service. Buses run on similar schedules as trains but can take more time. Customers are urged to plan accordingly. The maps below show where to board replacement buses on the Blue and Green lines.

Customers can receive additional information by calling 612-373-3333. When an unscheduled disruption occurs, real-time information is posted on Metro Transit's X and Facebook accounts. Customers may also sign up to receive alerts by text and email using Rider Alerts.
