Two Transit Stations Opening on January 30

Two transit stations are open on Columbia Pike as of Monday, January 30 in anticipation of potential upcoming winter weather.

  • Columbia Pike westbound & South Dinwiddie Street
  • Columbia Pike eastbound & South Four Mile Run Drive

The planned opening for the station at Columbia Pike & South Buchanan Street is delayed due to some damage sustained after the structure was cleared to open.

The temporary bus stop on Columbia Pike eastbound & South Wakefield Street will remain open during construction on Columbia Pike between South Wakefield Street and South Taylor Street for Segment F of the Columbia Pike Multimodal Street Improvements project.
