Beginning in November and continuing through early December, CATS will begin the next phase of system upgrades along the Blue Line, which will require scheduled single-tracking periods and Rail Trail detours near the new pedestrian crosswalk by Publix. These improvements support construction of the new station in South End and essential maintenance.

Route: Blue Line
Effective: Aug. 19
To support ongoing system reliability improvements, the Blue Line will single-track between Scaleybark and Archdale Stations overnight on Wednesday, Aug. 19. This work will begin at 11 p.m. and continue until the end of revenue service.
This brief overnight project will not affect normal morning service, and all trains will operate on their regular schedules starting at 5:30 a.m. on Thursday, Aug. 20.
During the brief single-tracking period, all trains will use the northbound (Uptown-bound) track. Customers at Scaleybark, Woodlawn, Tyvola and Archdale should board from the northbound platforms. Directional signage and audio announcements will be available at stations to guide customers.
For any questions or concerns, please contact CATS Customer Service at 704-336-7433.
