Metrolink Plans Week of Night Work on Ventura Line
Metrolink will conduct overnight maintenance on its Ventura County Line for six consecutive nights, affecting areas near North Hollywood Way and North Buena Vista Street. The work runs February 9-14, 2026, from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. nightly, transit officials said. Residents and commuters should expect noise, lighting, and dust during overnight hours, though train service won't be affected during daytime operating hours.
Essential Infrastructure Maintenance
The overnight maintenance work is part of Metrolink's ongoing efforts to maintain rail infrastructure in safe operating condition, according to the transit agency. Railroad maintenance typically includes track inspections, rail grinding, tie replacement, and signal system updates that can't be performed during regular service hours. Officials didn't specify which particular maintenance activities will be conducted during this work window. Transit agencies schedule overnight work to minimize disruptions to daytime commuter service while ensuring critical infrastructure remains reliable and safe.
Work Concentrated in Burbank Area
The maintenance zone spans the section between North Hollywood Way and North Buena Vista Street, both located in Burbank. Officials said the work will be confined to this specific corridor throughout the six-night period. The agency didn't provide details about how many track miles will be affected or the number of crew members involved in the maintenance operations. Metrolink confirmed the work will occur exclusively during the 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. window each night, with crews clearing the area before morning service begins.
Six-Night Schedule Confirmed
The maintenance work begins Sunday, February 9, 2026, and continues through Friday, February 14, running six consecutive nights. Officials said crews will work the full overnight window each night to complete necessary maintenance activities. The agency didn't say whether the work could extend beyond February 14 if weather or other factors cause delays. Metrolink typically provides updates through its social media channels if maintenance schedules change.
Residents Should Prepare for Overnight Disruptions
Nearby residents should expect temporary disruptions including construction noise, work lighting, and dust during the overnight hours throughout the work period. Officials said the impacts will be limited to the immediate area around the maintenance zone. The agency didn't specify whether any noise mitigation measures will be used during the work.
