Weekend service adjustments December 4-6 for rebuilding

 

Reconstruction of the Metrorail system will continue over the weekend of December 4-6 with service adjustments on all six lines beginning at 10:00 p.m. Friday and continuing through system closing on Sunday.

 

This weekend, trains will operate as follows:

• Yellow and Green line trains will operate at regular weekend intervals
• Red Line trains will operate every 18 minutes.
• Orange, Silver and Blue Line trains will operate every 20 minutes.

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.

• Between Medical Center & Grosvenor
• Between Judiciary Square & NoMa-Gallaudet
