NFTA to temporarily pause above-ground Metro Rail service due to construction

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) -- The NFTA will temporarily pause its above-ground Metro Rail service for 14 days in July due to construction, the organization announced Friday.

The pause, which spans from July 8-11 and July 20-29, will allow for "crucial track bed, catenary, and electrical system upgrades aimed at enhancing the safety and reliability of the Metro Rail system." The work intends to ensure a smooth and safe travel experience for passengers while modernizing and fortifying track infrastructure.
