Learn about the Bronze Line, a reimagined version of the former Purple Line.
Project map as of September 2025
Project Overview
The proposed alignment will connect with existing and future light rail and bus rapid transit service of the METRO system, including direct or close connections to the Gold Line, Green Line, B Line, G Line, and H Line, as well as local and express bus routes. The line will increase accessibility to jobs, housing, and services, thus improving the attractiveness and competitiveness of the east metro area.
The Metropolitan Council, in partnership with Ramsey County and the Minnesota Department of Transportation, will design and construct the project. Metro Transit will own, operate and maintain the line.
