PORTLAND, OR – MAX Red Line returned to regular service on Sunday, October 19th, following a seven days of maintenance work on the east side.
TriMet said crews have replaced curved rail at the Gateway/NE 99th Avenue Transit Center, as well as near Cascades Station. They have also deep cleaned stations, cleared litter from the tracks, cleaned the ballast, and replaced rail ties. All of that, they add, should mean passengers will get a smoother ride, cleaner stations, and improved reliability along the MAX Red Line.
On the west side, TriMet recently finished the Robertson Tunnel MAX Improvements Project. During that project, crews improved the track, cleaned inside and outside the tunnel, and replaced portions of the overhead wire system.
