Passengers traveling in Dallas’ Central Business District via DART may experience delays over the weekends of June 28-July 1 and July 12-15 as necessary maintenance is performed on DART Rail’s high-voltage power source—or catenary—via a process known as “re-tensioning.” Contingency dates will be July 19-22 if repairs need more time.
This repair work is in 54-hour shifts, allowing one track to remain open between 9 p.m. on Friday, June 28, and 3 a.m. on Monday, July 1, and again on Friday, July 12, until Monday, July 15. DART will operate a single train in both directions, serving all stations between Pearl/Arts District and West End.
While the re-tensioning is taking place, three shuttle bus routes will replace the rail lines at the following stations. NOTE: Shuttles will operate from 9 p.m. until 2 a.m. on Fridays, 4 a.m.-2 a.m. Saturdays, Sundays & Mondays on affected weekends with normal rail service scheduled to resume at 3 a.m. on Monday mornings; closures could be postponed to contingency or alternate weekends due to weather.
