MTA update - Light Rail delays, MARC train delays, bus detours and weather impacts due to flooding
As of August 26, 2024, several important updates and alerts have been issued today for the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) alerts RSS feed. First and foremost, listeners should be aware that there are significant delays reported on the Light RailLink service due to mechanical problems near the Mount Royal station. Technicians are on-site working to resolve the issue, but riders should anticipate extended wait times and consider alternative transportation options if possible.
Another critical update affects the MARC Train Service. The Camden Line is experiencing delays of up to 20 minutes due to track maintenance work between the Camden and Greenbelt stations. Efforts are being made to complete the maintenance swiftly, but delays may persist throughout the morning commute. On the Penn Line, there are minor delays reported due to earlier signal problems near the BWI Airport station. However, these issues are now reportedly resolved, and service is expected to return to normal shortly.
The bus network is also experiencing disruptions. Bus Route 54 is on a detour due to road construction on Lexington Street, resulting in missed stops between Paca Street and Eutaw Street. Listeners are advised to use nearby stops on Saratoga Street and Howard Street during this period. Additionally, Route 15 is delayed as a result of a traffic collision near Belair Road and Taylor Avenue. Riders should expect delays as emergency services are attending to the scene.
Weather-related issues are contributing to further inconveniences. Flooding has been reported near the Patapsco Avenue and Washington Boulevard areas. This affects several bus routes, particularly Route 36, which is currently on detour to avoid flooded streets. MTA advises exercising caution and allowing for extra travel time in these areas.
Listeners should also be aware of planned service changes. The Metro SubwayLink service will be undergoing scheduled maintenance between the Johns Hopkins Hospital and State Center stations beginning at 10 PM tonight until 5 AM tomorrow. Replacement shuttle bus services will be provided during these hours, but travelers should expect additional travel time.
For those traveling to special events, there is good news. The Orioles game at Camden Yards is expected to increase ridership around the area. Extra Light RailLink services will be available before and after the game to accommodate the influx of fans. Plan accordingly to avoid any potential delays.
To stay updated on all service changes and alerts, listeners should subscribe to MTA’s notification services or regularly check their website for the latest information. MTA encourages everyone to plan their travel ahead of time, consider alternatives where necessary, and remain patient as efforts are made to resolve these issues and maintain safe and efficient public transportation services.
