The Metrolink Antelope Valley Line is set to be closed between the Lancaster and Newhall stations over the weekend for track maintenance.
From Saturday, Aug. 28 through Sunday, Aug. 29, trains with the Antelope Valley Line are set to be non-operational between Lancaster and Newhall as the track undergoes maintenance work, Metrolink officials announced.
While the Metrolink is closed in that area, buses are set to be provided for commuters riding through the area.
Riders can expect delays from 30 to 90 minutes due to traffic, according to Metrolink officials.
Two buses are scheduled to leave from the Lancaster station at the same time the Metrolink would normally leave, with one making all stops and the other driving directly from Lancaster to Newhall with no stops.
