Nov 24 to Dec 4 there will be a partial closure of red line between Chinook and city hall stations. This is to facilitate the switchover to the permanent platform at Victoria Park/Stampede station

In advance of the planned nine-day closure of part of the Red Line and lanes of northbound Macleod Trail, we are announcing details of shuttle routes, transit, and driving options and advising commuters to plan extra travel time.

Between the evening of Nov. 24 and the early morning of Dec. 4, there will be no train service between Chinook and City Hall/Bow Valley College stations. There will also be periodic traffic lane closures on northbound Macleod Trail around Victoria Park/Stampede Station. These closures are required to complete an important phase of construction in the Victoria Park/Stampede Station rebuild project – the switch from the temporary track and platform to the new permanent track and platform.

“This is a significant closure of our system,” said Doug Morgan, General Manager of Operational Services with The City of Calgary. “It is very rare for us to have a planned track shut down on a weekday because we know how important CTrain service is to our customers. We are working hard to provide alternatives, including the largest replacement shuttle service in our history, temporary park and ride locations, and parking alternatives. Travellers – whether on transit or driving – should know their options and plan extra time.”
