TriMet announced Sunday night that early on Monday morning crews would be working on a broken track component near Portland State University.  This section of track carries the MAX Green Line trains. Green Line trains will be detoured in Portland City Center on Monday until repairs and completed. Green Line trains will run on the Blue/Red Line tracks on Southwest First Avenue and Morrison and Yamhill streets. Riders who need to get to and from PSU should log trimet.org/alerts for detailed directions.

Be ready for a foggy commute in many areas on Monday as the forecast calls for limited visibility in some locations. Slow down and watch carefully for pedestrians and bicyclists, especially near school zones.
