Weekend service adjustments Sat. Dec. 16 & Sun. Dec. 17

 

Advisory Effective: 12/11/17 - 12/17/17

Previously scheduled Red Line work between Farragut North and Judiciary Square has been cancelled to allow for an emergency shutdown between Silver Spring and Rhode Island Ave.

 

Here is a summary of Metrorail service changes on Saturday, December 16 and Sunday, December 17, to allow for safety and reliability maintenance work:

 

Highlights

  • Regular weekend service on Yellow and Green lines
  • Free shuttle buses replace Red Line trains between Silver Spring and Rhode Island Ave
  • Trains every 24 minutes on the Orange, Silver and Blue lines with Silver Line trains between Wiehle-Reston East & Ballston only

Note: Because of Wreaths Across America, schedule adjustments on the Orange, Silver and Blue lines will begin at 10:00PM Saturday.
