DART Service Tweaks: Plan Detours, Stay Safe

0:00It's April 21st, this is Dallas News Today, driven by AI. Dallas area rapid transit riders on the red, blue, and orange lines need to watch out for service tweaks at City Play Slash Uptown Station. Crews are shutting down parts of the tunnel for maintenance starting Thursday, April 23rd at 7pm until Friday, April 24th at 3am with a bus bridge filling in between Pearl's Slash Arts District, City Play Slash Uptown, and SMU Slash Mockingbird stations that kicks off a bigger push with weekend work on the tracks. Northbound single track ops run from Friday, April 24th at 10pm through Monday, April 27th at 3am and Southbound hits. Friday may 8th at 10pm to Sunday, May 10th at 3am. Buses will loop every 20 minutes during the first closure and staff will be there to guide folks. Riders can count on longer trips and delays through that stretch, but green lines service stay smooth and orange line trains detour via green line 2.

The team's tackling fire alarms, brighter platform lights, deep cleans, and catenary wire fixes to boost safety and speed. It's all under dark transform, their big modernization push that started last month with new escalators, ticket machines, and cell service on deck. Soon, by 2028, the full revamp wraps up, promising quicker, safer rides for everyone rolling through. Stay sharp and plan those detours.
