CATS to limit light rail service in South End for new rail crossing

The Charlotte Area Transit System will limit light rail service in South End later this month as crews install a new pedestrian track crossing behind the Publix grocery store.

Work begins on April 19th on the new crossing behind the Publix grocery store and Atherton Mill on South Boulevard, where the city is also preparing for a future light rail station.

During construction, the Blue Line will run on a single track in South End, with impacts expected through May 8.

CATS also says both the Blue and Gold lines will shut down from April 25 through 27 for scheduled maintenance. During that time, buses will replace all trains.

Riders can use the CATS-Pass app or visit ridetransit.org to stay up to date.
