LYNX Blue Line Service Impacts Continue August 1 & 2 for Convention Center Construction
Charlotte, N.C. - To accommodate the ongoing construction activities at the Charlotte Convention Center, the LYNX Blue Line will experience service impacts in Uptown on August 1 and 2.
There will be no LYNX Blue Line service from the Carson Station to 7th Street Station. CATS will implement a "LYNX Connector" bus-bridge from the Carson Station to 7th Street Station. Each affected station will be served by a nearby bus stop.
The bus-bridge will go into effect at the start of service on Saturday, August 1, and will continue until the end of service on Sunday, August 2. Normal LYNX service will resume on Monday morning, August 3.
Regular local fare will be required and, as always, serves as a transfer.
Future transit service impacts, related to convention center construction, will be announced at a later date. For more information on CATS service impacts call CATS Customer Service at (704) 336-RIDE (7433).
