Metro Transit

Testing activities are picking up on the eastern end of the METRO Green Line Extension!

After wrapping up the first phase of testing on the west end of the 14.5-mile corridor, trains are now out moving between the Target Field and Bryn Mawr stations in Minneapolis.

Through this testing, we are making sure all the systems and signals that guide train movements are functioning as they should. In all, some 4,000 tests will be completed before service begins in 2027.

Please remember to:

⚠️ Obey all traffic signals
🛤️ Stay off tracks
🚸 Cross only at designated crossings

If you spot a potential safety issue, contact the 24-hour hotline at 612-373-3933. For emergencies, always call 911.

Starting soon! Prepare for Phase 2 of the Track & Signals project for the METRO Blue Line.

Buses will replace Blue Line trains for all stations beginning Monday, June 29 through Wednesday, Aug. 19.*

NOTE: METRO Green Line stations will also have replacement bus service via the Blue Line bus route during segments of the June 29 – Aug. 19 Blue Line maintenance period.
Buses will replace Green Line trains between Target Field and West Bank Station:

July 1 – 26
Aug. 16 – 19

Phase 2 contains a complete upgrade of the train signal system in the corridor. This work will allow for improved schedule reliability and will help keep trains moving in unusual instances like stalled trains or emergency track repairs.
