Work on the Blue Line

Metro Transit shutdown the south end of the rail line last weekend. They replaced rail ties on the curve between 28th Ave Station and MOA. A traction power substation was installed at MOA.

On Hiawatha Avenue, City of Minneapolis is installing new sensors and control units should better sync traffic signal cycles with light-rail trains causing detours on Hiawatha Avenue

Metro Transit is also installing  GO- TO card readers at the end of the platforms on Ceder-Riverside, Franklin Station, 38th Ave Station.
