What's Up With the Green Line: Weekend of July 29-31

Metro has no work scheduled on the Green Line this weekend. But if you’re transferring to Red, Orange, Blue or Yellow lines, keep an eye out for work zone hot spots.

Weekend work will begin around 10 p.m. Friday, July 29, and continue through closing on Sunday, July 31.

Red Line

Red Line trains will share one track between Van Ness-UDC and Friendship Heights stations as Metro performs track upgrades.

Red Line trains will share one track between Takoma and Forest Glen stations to accommodate several Metro work efforts.

Metro recommends that Red Line customers allow about 30 minutes of additional travel time.

Orange Line

Orange Line trains will share one track between Vienna and West Falls Church stations to allow for rail and tie renewal.

Every other train from New Carrollton will turn back at West Falls Church station.

Blue Line

Blue Line trains will share one track between Stadium-Armory and Addison Road stations to allow for replacement of slabs beneath the rails.

Blue Line trains will share one track between Braddock Road and Van Dorn Street stations as crews perform track work.

Metro recommends that Blue Line customers allow about 20 minutes of additional travel time.

Yellow Line

Yellow Line trains will share one track between Braddock Road and Huntington stations as crews perform track work.

Yellow Line trains will operate to/from Mt. Vernon Square, rather than going all the way to Fort Totten as on normal weekends. This is to accommodate the changes in flow resulting from the northern Virginia track work.

Metro recommends customers allow 20 minutes of additional travel time.

Metro states the trip planner on its website will not reflect the impact of this work on schedules.
