Passengers should expect delays due to ongoing repairs.
DART’s team is working to restore service following a major accident that occurred early on July 21, 2024, where a fire engine fell from the highway onto the DART tracks below near Interstate 345 and South Good Latimer Expressway. DART’s team mobilized quickly implementing 14 shuttle buses to replace train service in the area. We will increase the number to 21 buses, tomorrow, Monday, July 22, to serve passengers as train service will not resume in the Downtown Dallas’ Central Business District due on ongoing repairs.
Because of this ongoing work, customers should expect substantial delays during their morning commute. These delays could potentially extend into the afternoon rush hour depending on the extent of the repairs needed.
There will be bus shuttles available for passengers who are travelling within the Central Business District at the following locations:
• Cityplace/Uptown
• Deep Ellum
• Pearl/Arts District
• West End
• EBJ/Union
• Victory
These buses will service the stations listed above in place of the usual light rail service and will help passengers make connections to lightrail trains. Passengers who are serviced at St Paul/Akard station will have a shuttle service that connects them to the bus bridge.
Passengers are asked to look for DART personnel and signage as they travel through the Central Business area, add in additional time for their travel, and when possible: utilize alternate forms of transportation.
For passengers who use the Orange line between City Place/Uptown and Parker Road stations, please note that you should board Red Line trains to make your connections. Once in the Central Business District, board the bus bridge to your final destination. Please note passengers going to DFW airport should board the shuttle to get to Victory station and then board the orange line to get to the airport.
DART will continue to monitor this incident and work as quickly and safely as possible to resume regular services. To stay informed, please contact DART Customer Service at (214) 979-1111, find service updates on the DART GoPass app, or sign up for DART Service Alerts at DART.org
