Alert: Potential Service interruptions/stop closures – Blue Line and 103 Oct 28/29

On October 28th beginning at 10pm, there may be temporary closures of West 1st Street and Piedmont Avenue/Garfield Avenue to facilitate the transportation of oversized items into the port terminal.

There is the potential that this transportation activity may cause stops to be missed after 10:00 pm tonight, and in the early part of tomorrow (Thursday) morning.

Routes 110 & 210 Detour (Superior Walmart Area) Beginning 2:00 PM October 20

UPDATE:  This detour is expected to remain in place for at least the next day and potentially the rest of the week

Utility work near the intersection of Henry Cohen Dr and 37th St will require a detour on Routes 110 and 210 beginning TODAY at 2:00 PM on Tuesday, October 20, 2026.
The detour is expected to remain in effect through Wednesday, October 21. Service will return to regular route once Henry Cohen Dr reopens and the roadway is confirmed open.

What Riders Need to Know:

• Routes 110 and 210 will not serve normal stops near Walmart until after Henry Cohen Dr reopens set to close tomorrow.
• Temporary bus stops will be available on Tower Ave near Arby’s in both directions.
• Riders should allow a few extra minutes for possible delays while the detour is in effect.

Thank you for your patience while this utility work is completed. Regular riders for this area should be aware that a follow up closure to finalize paving from this project will generate a repeat of this detour and we will update when that has been scheduled.

Route 103 Detour Continues 88th Avenue West

Effective immediately, Route 103 must continue to detour around the closure of 88th Ave W for approximately two more weeks. Service will return to its normal route as soon as the roadway reopens.

During this closure, the bus stop at 88th Ave W & Edward St will be temporarily closed in both directions.

Riders who normally use the stop at 88th Ave W & Edward St should instead use:

• 88th Ave W & Concord St, or
• 88th Ave W & Falcon St

Due to on-street parking conditions, buses may use 87th Ave W, 86th Ave W, or 85th Ave W as needed while operating the detour.

Temporary Stop Location

Route 103 trips toward Downtown and UMD will temporarily serve a stop on the north side of Concord St at 88th Ave W (near Speedway) while the roadway remains closed.

Thank you for your patience as we work around this temporary closure. We will return to normal routing and reopen the Edward St stop as soon as 88th Ave W is reopened to traffic.
