Blue Line light-rail service resumed normal operations Saturday night after maintenance work scheduled for the weekend wrapped up early, Metro Transit said.

Buses were to fill in until 8 a.m. Sunday between the 46th Street Station in south Minneapolis and Terminal 2 at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport while the work on the bridge over Crosstown Hwy. 62 was happening.

Just before 9 p.m., Metro Transit said the work had been completed for the weekend.
