8th & O Light Rail Station West Platform Closure – Extended Through 2026

The west platform at the 8th & O Station (for trains traveling toward the 8th & Capitol Station) is currently closed due to major renovation construction at the California Department of Water Resources building, located at 1416 9th Street.

This closure is expected to remain in place through 2026, as SacRT needs to modify the inbound station platform to meet the height requirements of the new low-floor trains.

Light rail passengers headed inbound should use the Archives Plaza Station instead. The east platform at 8th & O Station (for trains traveling toward Archives Plaza Station) remains open.

Several nearby bus stops are also affected by the construction:

• Closed: Bus stops at 8th & O and 9th & N streets.
• Alternate stops for northbound passengers: 8th & N streets or 8th & P streets.
• Alternate stop for southbound passengers: 9th & Capitol streets (between N & Capitol).
• Open: The bus stop at 9th & O streets remains in service.
