Rider Alert: 2024 Gold Line Station Platform Modifications

November 20, 2023 General

In order to speed up the construction timeline to start revenue service with the new low-floor trains, SacRT will be extending station closure times during the next phase of Gold Line platform modifications starting in January 2024.

Instead of closing the entire station to riders during the platform construction, only one side of the station platform will be closed at a time (could be either the inbound or outbound side). These closures will take place Mondays through Fridays, one station at a time. Weekend closures with bus bridges will continue through summer 2024.

Below is the tentative schedule for January 2024. It is important to remember that the schedule may change due to various reasons including weather and local events.

GOLD LINE STATION CLOSURES AT SUNRISE STATION
