MetroLink Work Scheduled January 7-11

MetroLink passengers are encouraged to allow extra time for their evening commutes next week, as work along the light rail system may cause brief delays. On Monday through Friday (January 7-11) from 8:00 p.m. to end of service, MetroLink will operate on a single track at the Union Station and Civic Center MetroLink Station to accommodate work on the overhead power system.
