The Red and Green lines of METRO’s light rail in Houston are operating again, after crews have completed repairs to overhead electrical wires. The Red line runs from Northline/HCC Station to Fannin South and the Green line covers from Theater District Station to the Magnolia Transit Center.
The repairs started last week because of two overhead electrical wires that broke recently. One wire broke near the Burnett Bridge, along the Red Line, and the other break occurred near the intersection of Dallas and Scott streets.
A partial shutdown on the Purple Line remains in effect from EaDo/ Stadium Station to Palm Center Station. Free bus shuttles are available along the Purple Line to transport customers.
The wires will be reinforced at more than 70 locations and METRO anticipates the entire project will be completed by the end of the week.
