DART to reduce weekend rail service in Dallas’ Central Business District during repairs

West End Station
Posted on Jun 26, 2024 by DART News Release

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.

ORANGE/BLUE/RED/GREEN BUS SHUTTLE: Cityplace/Uptown – Deep Ellum (rail service resumes for SB Green Line) – Pearl/Arts District – West End – EBJ Union (rail service resumes for SB Red & Blue Lines) – Pearl/Arts District – Cityplace/Uptown (rail service resumes for NB Red & Blue Lines)

GREEN/ORANGE BUS SHUTTLE: Pearl/Arts District – West End – EBJ Union (rail service resumes for SB Red & Blue Lines) – Victory (rail service resumes for NB Green & Orange Line to DFW) – West End – EBJ Union (rail service resumes for SB Red & Blue Lines) – Pearl/Arts District

This important maintenance is critical to DART’s ability to maintain a safe and dependable rail system. For more information or schedule updates, please visit https://www.dart.org/.
