Buses are running running in place of Blue Line trains on the south end of the line due to “unscheduled maintenance,” Metro Transit said.
The agency is working to repair overhead power lines between 46th Street Station and Terminal 2 at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
“These repairs could take most of the day,” Metro Transit said. “We appreciate your patience as we work to restore light-rail service.”
Trips by bus take longer, but all affected stations will be served. Those include 46th Street, 50th Street, VA Medical Center and two stops at MSP Airport.
To the south of the airport, buses also are serving the Mall of America, 30th Avenue, Bloomington Central, American Boulevard and Terminal 2 stations.
Earlier Monday, a mechanism connecting the overhead power supply to trains at the Lake Street/ Midtown Station was damaged. That issue was resolved
Then the problem on the south end of the line popped up, Metro Transit said.
Trains are running as normal elsewhere along the line. Blue Line trains run from Target Field in downtown Minneapolis to the Mall of America in Bloomington.
