A work of art at every stop!

Those sculpted LYNX bridge facades you’ve seen while waiting for the light to change on North Tryon Street are part of the public artwork gracing the LYNX line and its 10 stations between uptown and UNC Charlotte.

Mosaics at 25th Street Station, a meadow at Old Concord Station and much more await along the line.
