The next closest inbound ramp, heading towards downtown and Cosumnes River College is at the Arden/Del Paso Station. Riders needing to use the inbound ramp at Globe Station should exit the train at the Alkali Flat/La Valentina Station instead, and catch the outbound train heading back toward Watt/I-80, and exit at the Globe Station using the outbound ramp.

Bus stops located at 8th & O and 9th & N streets will also be closed during construction. Northbound bus passengers should use the stop at 8th & P streets, southbound bus passengers should use the stop at 9th & Capitol.
