CHARLOTTE, N.C. — CATS will temporarily close their LYNX Blue Line in order to complete multiple projects.
The Blue Line will be closed all day Saturday and Sunday, April 30th-May st1 and May 7th-8th. It will re-open the following Monday for normal weekday service hours.
Over the past months, as the BLCE and BLE projects progressed along the LYNX Blue Line, CATS has had to implement 18 line cuts or partial line closures. By using the temporary shut-downs, BLE & BLCE projects will be able to eliminate any further line cuts.
In addition, CATS is taking the opportunity to perform preventative and corrective maintenance to the alignment in order to reduce single-track and other types of closures needed to perform this type of work. The closure of the entire line during the two weekends allows contractors and CATS to complete work safely and easily.
