The Antelope Valley Line between Newhall and Lancaster is expected to be closed next weekend as Metrolink completes a maintenance and rehabilitation project along the tracks.
On Saturday, Nov. 6 and Sunday, Nov. 7, Metrolink is scheduled to complete a maintenance project across the Antelope Valley Line and is temporarily closing the tracks between Newhall and Lancaster, according to Metrolink officials.
Santa Clarita commuters travelling to the Lancaster area are expected to be provided alternate bus services during the construction, while the Antelope Valley Line remains open for operation between Newhall and Los Angeles.
Facial coverings continue being required at all Metrolink stations, aboard trains and on buses used for alternate transportation, according to Metrolink officials.

Metrolink is working to provide sufficient staff at all stations next weekend to aid in the construction process and help commuters navigate their trips, according to a statement from Metrolink.
Due to traffic on the roads, Metrolink officials are asking passengers to be understanding of their time frames as “the buses will take the fastest, safest route available, however due to traffic we can experience service delays from 30-90 minutes. Buses cannot travel the distance from Lancaster to Vincent Grade/Acton as fast as a train.”
