Weekend service adjustments February 12-14 for rebuilding

 

Reconstruction of the Metrorail system will continue over the weekend of February 12-14 with service adjustments on all six lines. Trains will operate as follows:

  • Free shuttle buses will replace Green Line trains between Gallery Place and Navy Yard.
  • Yellow Line trains will operate every 10 minutes between Huntington and National Airport only.
  • Silver Line trains will operate every 10 minutes between Wiehle-Reston East and Ballston only.
  • Orange and Blue line trains will operate every 20 minutes.
  • Red Line trains will operate every 6-20 minutes.

There is no scheduled track work for Presidents Day, Monday, February 15.

Metro is investing $5.5 billion to install new rail, ties, platforms, escalators, signals, lighting, communication systems, and more. It represents the largest capital investment -- and work effort -- since the system's original construction in the early 1970s.

 

 Red Line
Trains every 6-20 minutes | 12:01AM Saturday until Closing Sunday

Single tracking between Silver Spring & Glenmont to allow for communication cable installation.

Red Line trains will operate:

  • Between Shady Grove & Silver Spring: every 12-15 minutes with additional trains between 9AM and 9PM.
  • Shuttle trains will operate between Silver Spring & Glenmont every 20 minutes. Transfer at Silver Spring to continue trip.

Travel Tips

  • Red Line passengers who normally park at Glenmont, Wheaton & Forest Glen should consider parking at Silver Spring, Takoma or Fort Totten for more frequent service.
  • Metrobus service may provide an alternate travel option for some riders. To check, plan your trip using Trip Planner and select the "bus only" option.
  • Before traveling, consult the trip planner at wmata.com to check the special schedule and reduce your wait time. Trip Planner is updated to reflect weekend rebuilding schedules on Fridays; please check on Friday afternoon or later.
