From February 15 to 21, Metro Rail will only operate between University Station and Allen-Medical Campus Station.

During this time, Fountain Plaza, Lafayette, Church, Seneca, Canalside, and DL&W Stations will be closed.

Starting July 2024, Church Street Station will be under construction until 2026. Please use temporary platforms to board the rail.

From February 15 to 21, The City of Buffalo will be removing the pedestrian bridge located at Eagle Street and Main Street, directly above our tracks. For safety reasons, trains will not operate above ground during this time. NFTA contractors will also take advantage of the closure to expedite work around Church Station.

Thank you for your patience. We apologize for any inconvenience this construction may cause to our riders.
