Big Bend MetroLink Station Closure: December 18 to January 8

Metro Transit will begin construction and access improvements at the Big Bend MetroLink Station, resulting in temporary access restrictions and a full station closure from December 18, 2025, through January 8, 2026.

To ensure riders can stay connected throughout the project, a Metro Transit shuttle will operate between the Clayton Transit Center and Big Bend, with an evening extension to Forest Park–DeBaliviere.

Skinker Station will also undergo scheduled gating installation from December 18–22 as part of the Metro Secure Platform Plan.
