The Maryland Transit Administration will begin work tonight on repairs to the platform at the Owings Mills Metro Subway station, but scheduled service is not expected to be affected.

The MTA said the work will take place at night between 10 p.m.  and 4 a.m. weekdays and between 10 p.m Friday  and 4 a.m. Monday on weekends. The agency said some section's of the platform's concrete  are showing signs of wear and damage after 27 years of use. The project, which will repair platform sections and replace yellow safety tiles, is expected to be completed in mid-January.

The MTA said that the project will close a single track at the station periodically but that it is not expected to affect scheduled service.
