Your Weekend Metro Track Work Delays

WMATA has put out its weekend track work alerts. The Red line looks to be the most affected, as switch replacement work at the Friendship Heights station will be underway this weekend.

Red Line:
Add at least 25 minutes of travel time between Medical Center and Van Ness-UDC due to the switch replacement work going on all weekend at the Friendship Heights station. Inbound and outbound trains will share one track from 9 p.m. tonight through midnight on Sunday, August 10. Every other Red line train traveling to Shady Grove will terminate at Van Ness-UDC and return to Glenmont on Saturday and Sunday.

Orange Line:
Regular track maintenance between the Minnesota Avenue and Cheverly stations will add about 20 minutes of travel time from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

Green Line:
Regular track maintenance between Greenbelt and College Park-U of Md. will add delays of roughly 15 minutes on Friday and Saturday evenings, as trains will share one track between the two stations from 8 p.m. to closing both nights.
