Construction Update

Construction in downtown San Diego will occur from October 2011 through 2012, and will include work needed to implement the Quiet Zone. Access for residents and businesses will be maintained at all times. Signage will be placed to alert patrons and residents to temporary detours. Round-the-clock work will be conducted on selected weekends, suspending all Trolley services during those construction periods.

Beginning Monday, May 14, 2012, Civic Center Trolley Station will be closed for approximately three months. During this closure, please use the nearby Fifth Avenue Trolley Station instead.

Beginning Monday, April 9, 2012, Convention Center Trolley Station is closed for approximately two months. During this closure, please use the nearby Gaslamp Trolley Station or Seaport Village Trolley Station instead.

Project Information

After nearly 30 years of operation, the Metropolitan Transit System’s Trolley is undergoing a massive overhaul. 

New low-floor Trolleys, track, and station platforms are all part of the project to update the system over the next several years. Construction began in fall 2010 and is scheduled to be completed by 2015.

The renewal project is focused on improving the Blue and Orange lines. The project will improve station amenities; raise platforms; replace old rail and overhead wire; and improve switching, signaling, and crossovers.

When the renewal is complete, riders will see minutes shaved off travel time. With the realignment of the Green Line, riders will no longer need to transfer when traveling from Mission Valley to the Convention Center or PETCO Park.
