Blue Line Shutdown: Renew the Blue

The Blue Line is going dark for seven weeks starting June 29th for its biggest overhaul ever—“Renew the Blue”—swapping trains for buses until August 19th while replacing every switch, track, and signal. Stations get fresh platforms and art too. Riders brace for longer trips and transfers, but transit advocates say it’s worth it for long-term reliability. Meanwhile, parts of the Green Line in downtown Minneapolis face temporary disruptions too, with Metro Transit deploying ambassadors to help riders navigate the chaos. This isn’t a quick patch—it’s a full system rebuild to keep things running safely for years to come. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
