Trolley renewal construction continues in downtown San Diego

The Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) Blue and Orange Trolley lines are currently undergoing a major renovation. The Trolley Renewal Project will improve Trolley station amenities; raise platforms; replace old rail and overhead wire; and improve switching and signaling. When the project is complete, new low-floor Trolley cars will operate throughout the MTS Trolley network and passengers will enjoy faster trips and easier access to Trolleys.
  
Trolley Renewal construction began in downtown San Diego in mid-December and will continue throughout 2012. The construction includes temporary closure of some stations, service interruptions on selected weekends, and some short-term road closures. Access for residents and businesses will be maintained during construction and signage will be placed to alert patrons and residents to temporary detours. 

Find more information about the downtown construction on the Downtown Construction Map, Downtown Construction Timeline and the Construction Alert. For ongoing project information, rider alerts, and construction updates, call the Trolley Renewal Hotline at (619) 557-4533, or sign up for text updates or further details by visiting www.sdmts.com/trolleyrenewal.asp.
