To accommodate ongoing MetroLink track work in Illinois next week, MetroLink trains will not operate between the College and Shiloh-Scott Stations from 8 p.m. until the end of service August 12-16 and August 19. The St. Clair County Transit District will transport Red Line MetroLink customers by MetroBus from the College MetroLink Station to the Shiloh-Scott MetroLink Station. Westbound passengers should allow for 20-25 minute delays and eastbound passengers should expect 5-10 minute delays.

The St. Louis Cardinals are playing at Busch Stadium next Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights. Baseball fans are encouraged to avoid the delays caused by the track work by parking at the College MetroLink Station or one of the other Metro Park-Ride lots instead of the Shiloh-Scott MetroLink Station Park-Ride lot, on game nights.
