Red Line Gets Safer Platform Doors | Baltimore News

Metro’s Red Line is getting glass platform doors—5.5 feet tall, designed to keep riders safe and reduce disruptions—part of a major modernization push that’s already upgraded trains and signals. While safety is the top goal, officials also want to preserve historic station aesthetics. Surveys are underway, with installation not expected before 2028 and costs still unknown. Meanwhile, the Red Line faces ongoing shutdowns this year for control room swaps, track repairs, and Rhode Island Avenue platform work—while other lines like Orange, Silver, Blue, Yellow, and Green also hit the weekend shutdowns for maintenance. These doors are just one piece of a big-picture effort to make commuting safer and smoother. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
