Regular MAX service resumes after maintenance project finished May 24 2021
The work on Blue Line rails and related equipment lasted for nine days, from May 15 to 23.
TriMet s nine-day project to rebuild rail lines on the MAX system in Northeast Portland was completed over the weekend and regular operations resumed at the start of service on Monday, May 24.
According to TriMet, the work completed a series of maintenance projects on the light rail system that began earlier this spring. The latest work, which began on May 15, rebuilt a stretch of rail near I-84, under the Northeast 33rd Avenue overpass. It will boost the overall reliability of the MAX system and improve the riding experience for riders. Around 40 contractors and 20 TriMet staff worked around the clock to rebuild the trackway to make it a smooth and dependable ride.
