METRORAIL Resumes Normal Operations

Waters have receded enough to allow METRORAIL to return to normal operations following Saturday's severe weather. All three lines were shut down earlier today because of flooding in some areas.

METRO bus operators provided service where possible throughout the day with delays and detours in areas with high water. Patrons can still expect delays along some bus routes until waters recede.

HOV/HOT lanes remain closed until further notice. We will continue to provide updates on our social media platforms and through Customer Service at 713-635-4000.
