Weekend closures like these, referred to as Absolute Work Windows (AWWs), occur periodically during the year on a pre-determined schedule. AWWs provide construction crews the opportunity to work safely and unimpeded on and along the rail line to perform improvements and maintenance work.

Regular service will resume on Monday, January 24^th. As a result of the weekend rail construction and resulting speed restrictions, COASTER passengers may experience delays of up to 10-15 minutes on Monday.
