Buses will be replacing METRO Blue Line trains starting June 29 between Target Field and Mall of America stations. Work includes upgrades to signals and other equipment that guide Metro Transit’s light rail train movements. The upgrades will allow safer and more efficient routing of trains, reducing delays, and improving schedule reliability.
Replacement Blue Line bus service will operate during these dates and between these stations:
June 29 – Aug. 19: Target Field and Mall of America stations (Full Blue Line)
NOTE: Replacement bus timing can vary and trips take longer because of needed routing and traffic conditions.
Please plan extra time for your trip.
The METRO D Line is another way to get between downtown Minneapolis and Mall of America.
Cyclists: The Hiawatha bike trail will be detoured for certain sections during this entire maintenance period. Pay attention to signs in the corridor for current detour routing of the trail as work progresses.
Buses will also replace METRO Green Line trains between Target Field and West Bank stations during the following periods:
July 1 – 26
Aug. 16 – 19
Note: Green Line customers can transfer to a Blue Line bus at West Bank Station to continue west into downtown Minneapolis or south toward Mall of America. This transfer option will remain available July 27 – Aug. 15 when Green Line service resumes in downtown Minneapolis. Customers traveling east to St. Paul should exit the replacement bus at West Bank station and board the Green Line train.
Train service will resume on Thursday, Aug. 20.
