SACRAMENTO, CA – Sacramento Regional Transit District (SacRT) will implement several planned service disruptions on the Blue Line throughout March 2026 as part of ongoing construction at the future Dos Rios Station and station platform modification work to prepare for new low-floor trains on the Blue Line. Bus bridges (shuttle buses) will be in place to help riders travel through impacted areas. 

Construction work will affect Blue Line service in different areas from Saturday, March 14 through Tuesday, March 31, 2026. Dates are subject to change based on weather or field conditions. Riders are advised to check sacrt.com/BlueLine for updates or call our Customer Service line at 321-BUSS (2877). 

March 14–15: Dos Rios Station Construction 

• No train service between Marconi/Arcade and 11th & K stations. 

• Closed stations: Swanston, Royal Oaks, Arden/Del Paso, Globe, Alkali Flat/La Valentina, and 12th & I. 

• Shuttle buses will operate between these stations. Note: Because trains will not operate between Marconi/Arcade and 11th & K (Cathedral Square), riders will need to transfer between trains and shuttle buses. Riders traveling from Cosumnes River College toward Watt/I-80 will deboard at 9th & K and walk one block to 10th & K (Cathedral Square) to board the shuttle bus to Marconi/Arcade station where train service is available toward Watt/I-80 Station. Riders traveling from Watt/I-80 toward Cosumnes River College will deboard the train at Marconi/Arcade and take the shuttle bus to 10th & K (Cathedral Square) where train service is available toward Cosumnes River College Station.

• Stations are closed for platform modification work. 

• Trains will pass through the Arden/Del Paso and Royal Oaks stations but cannot stop.

About the Construction Projects 

Dos Rios Station Construction 
The Dos Rios Station project is part of a major expansion of Blue Line access in the River District. Construction work in March includes connecting a new second track through the future station site to improve reliability and support doubletracking in the corridor. This work requires temporary service interruptions as crews complete track, signal, and infrastructure upgrades that will support the new station opening this summer. Learn more at sacrt.com/DosRios.  

Station Platform Modifications (Light Rail Modernization Project) 
SacRT is upgrading station platforms throughout the Blue Line as part of its Light Rail Modernization Project. These improvements will allow the system to operate new S700 low-floor trains, which offer easier boarding, improved accessibility, and a more modern passenger experience. Platform modification work requires short-term station closures and bus bridges but will result in longterm safety and accessibility benefits for riders. Learn more at sacrt.com/StationClosure.
