Light Rail and Subway Link Experiencing Delays in Baltimore Due to Maintenance and Earlier Signal Issues
Listeners, today on August 27th, 2024, MTA Maryland has made several important announcements that could impact your travel plans. The MTA Maryland Alerts RSS feed provides real-time updates intended to keep you informed about transit changes and disruptions.
Firstly, the Light RailLink is experiencing significant delays due to ongoing track maintenance between the Linthicum and Ferndale stops. Crews are working diligently to complete these necessary repairs, but riders should anticipate delays and seek alternate routes if possible. Shuttle bus services are being provided to help mitigate these disruptions, although they too might experience some delays during peak hours.
In addition, the Metro SubwayLink is currently running with minor delays due to an earlier signal issue near the Mondawmin station. Technicians have addressed the main problems, but residual delays are likely to persist throughout the morning. Passengers are advised to allow for extra travel time and to stay tuned for further updates as the situation progresses.
Bus routes are also seeing adjustments. Route 3 and Route 64 are experiencing detours due to road construction. Specifically, Route 3 is being diverted at North Avenue, with stops between Falls Road and Calvert Street temporarily suspended. This construction, expected to continue until the end of the week, has necessitated these changes to ensure passenger safety. Route 64 is affected by a different construction project at Harford Road, leading to a temporary reroute via Echodale Avenue and Old Harford Road. Additional bus services are being deployed to implement these detours as smoothly as possible.
Furthermore, Marc Train services are facing a few minor delays as well. The Penn Line has reported slight disruptions due to a trespasser incident near the BWI Airport station. While trains are still running, slight delays are to be expected, and staff are actively working to minimize these disruptions. On the Camden Line, there are no reported issues, and services are running according to the regular timetable.
It's also worth noting that special events scheduled for today are likely to affect public transportation traffic. The Baltimore Orioles are playing a home game at Camden Yards, starting at 1:05 PM. Consequently, expect heavier traffic on the Light RailLink and bus routes serving the downtown area. MTA Maryland is increasing services on these lines to accommodate the influx of passengers, but delays are still possible.
Listeners who rely on Paratransit services should be aware that there might be scheduling delays today. The increased demand due to the aforementioned construction works and special events means some trips may take longer than usual. MTA Maryland encourages users to check their trip status online or via phone and to be patient with service operators during this time of high demand.
Finally, MTA officials remind all passengers to stay updated via the official MTA website, mobile apps, and social media channels. These platforms will continue to provide real-time information and additional advisories as necessary. Listeners are urged to stay informed to ensure a smooth and timely transit experience.
So, while today presents a few transit challenges, MTA Maryland is committed to keeping you informed and ensuring that services run as smoothly as possible under the circumstances. Stay safe and plan ahead for any potential delays in your travel.
