Miami Metromover Safeguards Service During Track Work

Miami Metromover Inner Loop switches to opposite track March 3 for maintenance work

Miami Metromover Inner Loop Shifts Track March 3

Miami's Metromover Inner Loop will run on the opposite track starting March 3, 2026, transit officials said. The operational change means the Inner Loop will travel in the same direction as the Omni and Brickell loops while the agency services standard track infrastructure. Miami Avenue Station won't serve Inner Loop passengers during the modification, though officials haven't said how long the closure will last.

Track Modification Requires Operational Adjustment

The track shift allows maintenance crews to service infrastructure while keeping the automated people mover system operational, according to Miami-Dade County's transportation alert. The Inner Loop typically operates independently from the Omni and Brickell loops, but the modification requires all three services to share track sections temporarily. Transit agencies typically schedule such infrastructure work during periods when alternative routing is possible, though specific details about the maintenance scope weren't available. Officials classified the service change as high severity due to the route modification and station closure.

Station Closure Affects Inner Loop Access

Miami Avenue Station will remain closed to Inner Loop passengers throughout the modification period, officials confirmed. Riders who typically board at Miami Avenue should use 3rd Street Station as the nearest alternative access point, according to the transit agency. The Omni Loop and Brickell Loop continue normal operations at all stations, including Miami Avenue. Officials didn't specify whether service frequency on the Inner Loop will change during the track modification or how many daily riders typically use Miami Avenue Station for Inner Loop service.

Modification Begins Early March

The service change takes effect March 3, 2026, according to Miami-Dade County's official alert. Officials haven't announced when the Inner Loop will return to its standard track and resume service at Miami Avenue Station. Transit agencies typically provide updates on infrastructure work timelines as projects progress, though a schedule for additional information wasn't available.

Riders Should Plan Alternative Routes

Commuters who rely on the Inner Loop at Miami Avenue Station should allow extra travel time and plan to use 3rd Street Station instead, officials said. The modification affects only Inner Loop service, while the rest of the Metromover network operates normally.
