LEANDER, Texas - CapMetro will be suspending MetroRail service next week to continue construction and projects on the line.
Service will be suspended from Saturday, Nov. 19 to Sunday, Nov. 27 so the transit agency can complete the Lakeline/Leander double-tracking project and continue construction work on the McKalla Station.
During the suspension, CapMetro will be operating a shuttle to serve Leander, Lakeline and Howard stations before heading to Downtown Station:
- Leander: Shuttle Route 454, Route 985 Leander/Lakeline Direct
- Lakeline: Shuttle Route 454, Route 985 Leander/Lakeline Direct
- Howard: Shuttle Route 454
Shuttles will not be available on Sundays or Nov. 24-25 due to Thanksgiving holiday service levels.
