2024 Planned Light Rail Rehabilitation Efforts Winding Down
To rehabilitate its aging infrastructure, VTA scheduled several light rail shutdowns throughout 2024. The shutdowns focused on repairing and replacing items on the light rail tracks and segments where equipment has reached the end of its useful life.
This work was divided into two major ongoing construction efforts that happened simultaneously this year: Rail Rehabilitation and Overhead Catenary System Rehabilitation. While construction activities took place, light rail service in the impacted stations was temporarily replaced by a “bus bridge” or temporary bus service.
VTA understands the inconvenience the light rail rehabilitation construction causes and thanks riders for their patience. Ensuring the light rail system is safe, reliable, and able to move at the intended speed remains a priority.
VTA will resume rehabilitation efforts still needed in the future.
