SACRAMENTO, CA – The Sacramento Regional Transit District (SacRT) will temporarily suspend Blue Line light rail service between City College Station and Florin Station from Friday, September 11 through Wednesday, September 30, 2026. This closure will allow construction crews to complete essential platform upgrades at 47th Avenue Station and shelter adjustments at Fruitridge Station as part of SacRT’s ongoing Light Rail Modernization Project.

During the construction window, tracks in the work zone will be impassable, and SacRT will operate a bus bridge to ensure riders can continue traveling through the affected area. Regular Blue Line service will resume on Thursday, October 1, 2026.

The temporary suspension is necessary to safely raise station platforms by eight inches to meet height requirements for the new low-floor Siemens S700 trains. These systems improvements will make boarding faster and easier for all riders, particularly seniors, individuals with disabilities, families with strollers, and passengers using mobility devices.

Bus Bridge Service (September 11–30)
Shuttle buses will operate between City College and Florin stations during all hours normal light rail service is offered. Riders can transfer between trains and shuttle buses to continue traveling north or south on the Blue Line. Riders should allow extra travel time as buses operate in mixed traffic.

Light Rail Service During Construction

• Blue Line trains will operate normally in the north area between Watt/I‑80 Station and City College Station.
• Blue Line trains will operate normally in the south area between Florin Station and Cosumnes River College Station.

Shuttle buses will operate every 20–30 minutes. Detailed schedules and locations are available at sacrt.com/BlueLine.
