Sun Metro Detours for the Demolition of Asarco and City Hall

Sun Metro will be required to detour several routes due to the demolition of Asarco on Saturday, April 13, and the implosion of City Hall on Sunday, April 14.

Sun Metro staff will monitor the impacted areas to help passengers. Drivers will make courtesy stops as required.

Sun Metro strongly encourages the public to avoid all morning travel on both days to help reduce traffic congestion and eliminate commuter anxiety. Individuals wishing to witness the demolitions are asked to do so from the safety of their homes on their television screens.
