Metro's efforts to rebuild the Red Line will continue over the weekend of May 11-13. The work will begin at 10 p.m. Friday, May 11, and continue through system closing on Sunday, May 13.
Trains will single track through two work areas:
- Between Forest Glen and Takoma to allow for platform reconstruction at Takoma and Fort Totten stations, as well as fiber optic cable installation.
- Between Van Ness and Dupont Circle to allow for rail and fastener renewal, as well as joint elimination for a smoother ride.
Service Information
- Red Line trains between Shady Grove and Glenmont will operate every 24 minutes throughout the weekend. Customers should allow 20 minutes of additional travel time.
- Between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, additional trains will operate between Farragut North and New York Avenue only, providing service every 12 minutes in the downtown core.
Customers on the eastern side of the Red Line may wish to consider using Green or Yellow line service as an alternate travel option. Both Green and Yellow line trains will operate on a regular weekend schedule.
