A few planned maintenance projects will take place across the LRT system in July. Riders will see the following service adjustments on the Capital/Metro lines in the coming weeks:
Sunday, July 7
Central Station will close from 4 p.m. on July 7, until 4 a.m. on July 8 due to EPCOR electrical work at the station. During this time, Capital/Metro Line trains will travel through the station but will not stop to pick up or drop off riders.
There will be no LRT replacement buses during this closure. Riders can access downtown through Churchill and Bay/Enterprise Square stations.
July 13-14
From July 13-14, construction at the former NAIT station and repair work on the Dudley B Menzies Bridge will lead to the following service adjustments on the Metro Line:
- On July 13 and 14, track crews will make repairs just south of the Menzies Bridge. During the repairs, Metro Line trains cannot move further south than Government Centre station. Riders who need to access University or Health/Sciences Jubilee stations must transfer to the Capital Line.
- On July 13, PCL will pour concrete for a 60’ feature wall where the former NAIT station was located. The overhead power will be turned off so crews can work safely.
- To help ensure work is conducted safely and efficiently, the NAIT/Blatchford Market station will close on July 13 from beginning of service to 8 p.m. to allow heavy equipment use on the tracks.
- From the beginning of service to 6 p.m., Metro Line trains will run from Kingsway/Royal Alex to Government Centre stations. To access University or Health Sciences/Jubilee stations, riders can transfer to the Capital Line.
- From 6 to 8 p.m., trains will run from Kingsway/Royal Alex to Health Sciences Jubilee stations.
- From 8 p.m. to end of service, Metro Line trains will return to their regular schedule between Health Sciences/Jubilee and NAIT/Blatchford Market stations.
- Trains will run at a 15-minute frequency all day.
LRT bus replacement service will only be available on July 13 between Kingsway/Royal Alex and NAIT/Blatchford Market stations. Buses will run every 15 minutes.
On July 14, Metro Line trains will run between NAIT/Blatchford Market and Government Centre stations until 6 p.m. and the Metro Line will resume regular service from NAIT/Blachford to Health Sciences/Jubilee stations.
