Both the Blue Line and Gold Line will be closed for scheduled preventative maintenance from Saturday, April 25 at 2 a.m. until Monday, April 27 at 4 a.m. A bus bridge will replace all trains. From April 27 - 29 the Bus Bridge continues, but only between Scaleybark and Bland stations, to support South End Station construction.
As CATS prepares installation of a new track crossing as part of the South End Station project, a portion of the Rail Trail will be closed beginning April 19. As work is completed, sections of the Rail Trail will reopen (May-July).

Rider’s Alert Rail Trail Effective: Sept. 15, 2025
Beginning Monday, Sept. 15, a portion of the Rail Trail will be closed for the Morehead Crossing project. This project is intended to enhance pedestrian and bicycle safety of the Morehead Crossing ahead of the upcoming I-277 Pedestrian Bridge project. The closure is expected to be in effect until Nov. 1, 2025.
Blue Line operations and stations should not be impacted. Signs will be in place to guide Rail Trail users away from the affected area and back to an open portion of the trail. We will provide updates as they are available and appreciate your patience during this time.
