STOP CLOSURES: State Street construction

1/20/24: Pierce Park bus stop closures

Due to construction on State Street, bus stops at State & Pierce Park (AB535 and AB536) will be closed effective Monday, January 20th.

Due to limited space, no temporary stops will be placed. Riders should navigate to nearby stops at State & Ellens Ferry (AB540 and AB541) using available sidewalks or a VRT Lyft Pass.

Riders can track the bus in real-time on the Route 9 page or with ETA SPOT.

Note: Ongoing lane closures will be in place on an as-needed basis throughout the duration of the project, which is expected to last until later this year. To reduce frequent changes and provide more reliable travel, VRT will keep the stops at Pierce Park closed throughout construction—even if it appears that there is no present construction activity.
