SacRT commenced platform construction along the Blue Line to modernize the light rail system in preparation for the new low-floor light rail vehicles.

This project is an essential step toward enhancing accessibility and improving the rider experience. 

Construction Timeline & Rider Information:

• October 21 - November 8, 2024: Roseville Road will be temporarily closed for platform modifications. Trains will pass through the station, but no boards or deboarding will be possible. Station is expected to open on Saturday, November 9, 2024. 
• Saturday, December 7, 2024: Bus bridge (shuttle bus between stations) in place on the Blue Line between Marconi and Alkali Flat/La Valentina stations.  The bus bridge will be in place between start of service and 4 p.m.

The schedule may shift depending on weather and other factors, so we encourage riders to check SacRT’s website or download the free Alert SacRT app for the latest service updates.

Rider Reminder! Riders are reminded to watch their step when traveling in Swanston Station as the platform areas have been raised eight inches to meet the height requirement of the new low-floor light rail trains. For safety reasons riders are urged to cross the stations at the ends of each platform and not in the middle of the station to avoid the raised curb.

Roseville Road Station is closed to passengers starting Monday, October 21 through Friday, November 8, 2024. Trains continue to pass through the station, but boarding and deboarding is not possible.

New Low-Floor Light Rail Service Began September 1
SacRT introduced into service the new low-floor trains on Sunday, September 1, 2024. Learn more at sacrt.com/newtrains. 

Folsom 15-Minute Construction Continues
SacRT is also continuing construction efforts to add a passing track to provide 15-minute service frequency to Folsom area stations. Once construction is complete, the new low-floor trains will operate on the Gold Line between Sacramento Valley Station and Historic Folsom Station.  

Blue Line Riders Reminder:
SacRT will continue to operate the high-floor trains on the Blue Line. The transition to low-floor vehicles on this line is anticipated in 2027, once the station platform construction is completed and additional light rail vehicles are purchased. 

A look at the Gold Line station platform construction from February 2023 through June 2024.
