The Sacramento Regional Transit District (SacRT) is advising customers of planned April 2024 service disruptions on the Gold and Blue lines, due to station platform modification construction and SMUD construction.

The tentative schedule for the station closures is below, noting that the schedule may be subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances, including weather.

The inbound platform (trains headed toward downtown Sacramento) at Mather Field/Mills Station will be closed. Light rail trains will travel through Mather Field/Mills Station; however, customers will not be able to board or deboard on the inbound side of the station platform. The outbound platform (trains headed toward Folsom) at Mather Field/Mills Station will be open and operate normally.

Customers needing to exit the train on the inbound side will instead need to travel one more stop to Butterfield Station, exit the train, and board the next train heading outbound back toward Mather Field/Mills Station (no bus bridge service will be available during the closure).
