Two LRT stations on the north end of the Capital Line will be closed for three consecutive weekends as crews work on the train line.

Scheduled maintenance on the northern section of the Capital Line will force the closure of the Clareview and Belvedere LRT stations on March 23, March 29-30 and April 6-7.

“Regular LRT maintenance and renewal projects are an important part of providing a more reliable and efficient service,” the City of Edmonton said in a news release Tuesday morning.
