Two More Metro Stations to Close on Inauguration Day

You already knew that the Secret Service had ordered the Archives-Navy Memorial-Penn Quarter and the Smithsonian Metro stations to be closed on Inauguration Day, Tuesday, January 20, for security reasons. Now comes word that two additional stations, Judiciary Square and Mt. Vernon Sq/7th St Convention Center, will also close for part of the day due to their proximity to locations hosting Inaugural Balls.

The Mt. Vernon Sq/7th St Convention Center station on the Green/Yellow Lines will close at 7:30 a.m. on January 20, while Judiciary Square station on the Red Line will close at 4 p.m. Both stations will reopen at 5 a.m., on Wednesday, January 21.

The Archives-Navy Memorial-Penn Quarter and the Smithsonian stations will reopen after the parade, at approximately at 6:30 p.m., on January 20.
