Why is this work needed?

Thousands of bus trips move through the Downtown Transfer Station each week, and the constant movement and weight of buses have taken a toll on the pavement.

Crews will mill and repave the affected bus bays and complete concrete work at the station entrance and exit. The work will address deteriorating pavement and create a smoother, more durable surface for buses moving through the station.

The temporary closure will allow crews to complete this necessary maintenance safely and efficiently while improving the station for riders and operators over the long term.

What riders should expect

Bus service will continue throughout the project. While DTS is closed, routes that normally serve the station will instead use temporary transfer points along 9th Street between East Leigh and East Marshall streets.

We understand that catching your bus at a different location, especially when making a transfer downtown, can be inconvenient. Our goal is to make the temporary setup as easy to navigate as possible while this important work is completed.

Before the closure begins, riders will receive a detailed map showing where each route will stop along the temporary transfer area. Signage will be placed throughout the area.

Riders may need to walk farther between some routes and should plan for a little additional travel time when making connections downtown.
