The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority is planning five weekends of Blue/Green line closures to perform needed updates to the light rail train system. Replacement buses will pick up and drop off riders at every station on both the Blue and Green Lines on each of these weekends.

Two bridges will be the main focus of the closures, located between the East 79^th Street and Buckeye-Woodhill stations. Crews from Delta Railroad of Ashtabula will upgrade the bridges, which were originally built in the early 1900s. Because it is impossible to repair bridges unless they are entirely shut down, RTA will also use this time to perform additional maintenance and upgrades to the light-rail system.

The weekend closures will be Sept. 24-26, Oct. 15-17, Oct. 22-24, Oct. 29-31 and Nov. 19-21. Cleveland's Ingenuity Fest is Sept. 24-26. Adjusted routes and additional service will be provided to the Detroit Superior Bridge for events during this weekend.
