TriMet Eastside MAX Route Updates
From now through Aug. 17, TriMet crews will be improving MAX tracks between Interstate/Rose Quarter and Lloyd Center/NE 11th Ave MAX stations. MAX Blue, Green and Red lines will be disrupted, and there will be no trains between N Interstate Ave and Lloyd Center/NE 11th Ave MAX stations. TriMet is providing shuttle buses to transport passengers between Lloyd Center and Rose Quarter. At the Rose Quarter station located on Interstate, they will then catch a blue line train to head west toward Hillsboro.
Due to the change in operation, it will take fans a little longer than normal to arrive at Providence Park from the eastside of town. Also, post-game will be limited in its extra train service. TriMet will have two extra trains ready for post-game westbound movement, but only one extra to head east and take people to Rose Quarter.
