St. Louis MetroLink to improve UMSL South Station

Metro Transit - St. Louis will officially begin a new light-rail improvement project on Monday, November 7, at the UMSL South MetroLink Station. The general contractor for the first phase of the project is R.V. Wagner, Inc. The cost of this part of the project is $1.2 million and is funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

The south section of the Park-Ride lot at the UMSL South MetroLink
Station will be closed for the duration of the construction project,
which is scheduled to be completed in early 2013. Because fewer parking
spaces will be available on the lot, MetroLink customers are encouraged
to consider parking at the North Hanley or Rock Road MetroLink Stations.

MetroLink passengers can expect occasional delays and MetroBus
shuttles during the construction period. Metro will inform customers in
advance of those operational changes.
