Published on January 14, 2026
Rider’s Alert
Blue Line
Effective: Feb. 8, 2026
The Mecklenburg County Pedestrian Skybridge that was scheduled for installation over the Blue Line (between Sugar Creek and Old Concord stations) this Sunday, Jan. 25 is postponed due to expected inclement weather. The installation is now scheduled to begin Feb. 8.
Due to the complexity and safety requirements of the installation, the Blue Line will single-track and a bus bridge will be implemented to supplement rail service between 36th Street and UNCC stations from 4:30 a.m. until approximately 7 a.m. Normal service will continue between I-485 and 36th Street stations.
