Stretch of Red Line closed over the weekend

The Red Line will be closed between Sunnyside and University Station starting Saturday morning.

As if having world leaders arriving from every corner of the planet for the G7 summit wasn’t enough to make getting around town more challenging than usual this weekend, the Red Line will also be disrupted.

Calgary Transit posted on its social media channels that the Red Line between Sunnyside and University Station will be closed June 14 to 15.

The closure will impact Sunnyside, SAIT/AUArts/Jubilee, Lions Park, Banff Trail, University, and Brentwood stations.

Shuttle buses will replace train service between Sunnyside and Brentwood Stations both days.

Passengers on the southbound train from Brentwood should stay on only if you’re going to University Station. Otherwise, catch the shuttle in the Brentwood Station bus loop.

Trains coming from the south and downtown will terminate at Sunnyside station, while trains from the northwest will terminate at University station.

Calgary Transit also posted a message on its website that customers calling Teleride may experience issues trying to obtain schedule information and recommended trying TeleText at 74000 or the Trip Planner on the Calgary Transit website.

It also posted that Route 100 (Airport/Saddletowne) and 119 (Freeport) are both being detoured due to G7-related road closures around the airport.

Expect delays and plan ahead.

Regular Red Line service will resume Monday morning.
