MetroLink trains will not operate between the East Riverfront and Emerson Park MetroLink Stations in Illinois on Saturday, August 24, and Sunday, August 25, in order to accommodate track maintenance work. MetroLink customers will instead be transported by bus on MetroLink Station Shuttles between the East Riverfront, 5^th & Missouri and Emerson Park Stations during this planned service outage. Transit customers who need to travel through this area are encouraged to plan ahead and allow an additional 20 minutes for their weekend commutes.

MetroLink trains operating outside of this area will provide regularly scheduled weekend service, with trains operating every 20 minutes. Eastbound Blue Line MetroLink trains will only operate to the East Riverfront Station due to the maintenance work. MetroLink trains will resume service between the East Riverfront and Emerson Park Stations on Monday, August 26.
