Portion of Hiawatha Line closed May 29-June 1

Portion of Hiawatha Line closed May 29-June 1

Route 55 buses will replace trains between Humphrey Terminal Station and Mall of America Station from 11 p.m. on Friday, May 29, through 3:30 a.m. on Monday, June 1, due to construction.
Buses will operate more frequently than trains, but bus trips will take longer than train rides. Metro Transit staff will be at key rail stations to direct customers to bus service. Posters on the platform will also give instructions on where to catch Route 55 buses.
Trains will operate normally elsewhere along the Hiawatha Line.
Construction crews are lengthening rail platforms at stations to accommodate three-car trains and are upgrading signal equipment to improve the reverse operation of trains through crossings.
To learn of any last-minute changes, call the rail maintenance hotline at 612-373-3333, option 6.

Thank you for your patience.
