The longest service interruption in TriMet's history is set to start Sunday, June 18. The public transit agency will halt MAX Red Line service between the Gateway Transit Center and Portland International Airport (PDX) for 126 days.

We rode through on Sunday and, yeah, looks like a big project. I'm still not 100% sure what they're trying to do. Looks like improving the arrival and departure tracks?

Looks like adding a second track:

add a second track to sections of the Red Line between the Gateway Transit Center and PDX, which TriMet says will improve system-wide reliability.

The timing seems questionable though. I'd think that any time other than our absolute peak travel season would have been better.
