Final completion of stations will occur next year as Metro Transit prepares for the beginning of E Line service. Activities in 2025 will include installation of station amenities (including shelters, real-time signs, bike racks, and benches) and equipment testing. These activities are expected to take only a few days at each site and will cause minimal disruption to traffic.
Civil construction has also been completed at several stations through coordinated projects with Metro Transit’s partners including:
Metro Transit is seeking your feedback on Network Now, a plan designed to grow ridership, expand job access, and better meet the region’s changing mobility needs. This plan will directly affect bus service levels (both local bus and bus rapid transit) in the E Line corridor and the region through 2027. Please read and comment on the plan by Nov. 15.
In addition to stations, E Line construction activities will also include installation of fiber optic communication infrastructure and construction of additional pedestrian, traffic signal, bikeway, and intersection improvements delivered in partnership with Hennepin County and the City of Minneapolis.
- Work in the corridor will include station construction, utility work, pavement and intersection improvements, and traffic signal changes.
- Expect temporary lane restrictions and marked detours for traffic.
- Pedestrian access will remain for businesses and residences.
- Buses will experience detours during construction. Up-to-date information about bus detours and temporary stop locations can be found at metrotransit.org/alerts and by subscription to Rider Alerts.
- Southbound Route 6 buses will be detoured off France Avenue during E Line Construction.
- Routes 6C,6E and 6K are detoured off Sheridan Ave from 39th St to 40th St. Detour map
- Route 46 buses will be detoured off 50th Street between Ewing Avenue and Halifax Avenue.
- See a detour map for affected routes.
- Construction will be staged at each station intersection to allow for vehicular traffic flow.
