East Side Red Line Shutdown

-

On Saturday, December 4 and Sunday, December 5, 2021, Red Line rail service will be replaced with 66R buses between Tower City and Windermere due to construction work on the Opportunity Corridor pedestrian bridge at E. 89th, as well as GCRTA Fiber Optic cable installation.

66R buses do not stop at the Tri-C-Campus District Station, and, during this shutdown, will not stop at E. 55th St. Station.  Riders wishing to access these stations can use the Blue and Green Lines. The stop for Tower City is located on W. Prospect at W. 3rd St.

66R buses will stop at, or near, all other stations on the Red Line, east of Tower City. There is also a stop at Woodland Ave. & E. 55th St.  Please look for the special orange 66R bus stop signs.
66R buses will operate on a 30 minute frequency during this time.

Red Line rail service between Tower City and the Airport will operate according to the regular Saturday/Sunday schedule.

Normal Red Line rail service will resume with the start of service on Monday, December 6, 2021.

RTA apologizes for the inconvenience as this necessary work is completed.
