Folsom area light rail customers can expect light rail service disruptions and continued bus bridges between Iron Point and Historic Folsom stations for the duration of the construction period, which has been extended through December 2024. 

SacRT is making significant construction progress in adding a passing track at the Glenn/Robert G. Holderness Station to be able to provide 15-minute light rail service to all Folsom area stations including Hazel, Iron Point, Glenn/Robert G. Holderness and Historic Folsom.

Due to final train and track testing, Folsom area light rail customers can expect extended bus bridges the weekend of December 14, 2024.

  • Saturday, December 14 - Sunday, December 15, 2024: Bus bridge extended between Cordova Town Center and Historic Folsom
  • Monday, December 16, 2024: SacRT will begin operator training and system testing. All outbound trains will end passenger service at Iron Point Station, proceed to Historic Folsom for testing, and return to Iron Point to resume service toward Sacramento.

 Note: The schedule can change depending on weather and other factors. Please check back for service updates. 

Once testing is complete, SacRT still needs to obtain final approvals from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) before launching 15-minute service. We appreciate your patience as we work toward an official opening date.

Note: The schedule can change depending on weather and other factors. Please check back for service updates.

Folsom Boulevard Lane Closures 

There are lane closures on Folsom Boulevard as part of the Folsom 15-Minute Project. These closures impact the stretch of Folsom Boulevard between Bidwell Street and Parkshore Drive. Glenn Drive between Folsom Blvd and Coolridge Drive reopened on October 20, 2024.

During the construction period, the two northbound lanes closest to the train tracks are closed to vehicular traffic. To ensure the safety of commuters and construction crews, vehicle traffic is redirected into the adjacent southbound lanes for both directions of travel.

Folsom Boulevard is reduced from two lanes to one lane in both directions and the speed limit reduced to 35 mph. The lane closures are expected to remain in effect seven days a week until the completion of the project.

To help ease traffic congestion during this period, motorists are recommended to take alternate routes and adjust travel times if possible.

Project Timeline

Construction is expected to be completed in winter 2024. Upon project completion, new low-floor trains will arrive in and depart from Historic Folsom Station every 15 minutes during the weekday.
