Metrorail will open at 5 a.m. on Thursday, Metro General Manager Paul Wiedefeld announced at a press conference Wednesday evening.

All train lines will both operate on a normal schedule. There is a slight chance of single-tracking on Blue/Orange/Silver lines due to an ongoing repair effort at Foggy Bottom as of 11 p.m., Metro said.

“In the event that repairs are not completed in time, Metro will single track between Clarendon and Foggy Bottom, running Orange Line trains between Vienna and New Carrollton and Silver Line trains between Wiehle-Reston and Largo. The Blue Line would be rerouted over the Yellow Line bridge.”

Since midnight on Wednesday, the entire system has been out of operation. “This shutdown was indeed necessary,” Wiedefeld said.

While the emergency inspections that prompted the closure are not yet done, as of 5 p.m. Metro crews finished inspecting 80 percent of the 600 underground jumper cables in question. Already, crews found 26 damaged areas. As of 9 p.m., all but four locations have been repaired, Metro said.

This is what that process looks like:

Of the 26 defects crews have found, three of them are considered “showstoppers”—meaning that Metro wouldn’t run trains over them. Those are Foggy Bottom, McPherson Square and Potomac Ave, all of which are on the Orange/Blue/Silver lines.

Wiedefeld said that he expects crews to finish all inspections and repairs on time.

Metro decided to shut down the rail system after a cable fire sparked delays and safety concerns on the Blue, Orange and Silver lines on Monday. The episode shared similarities with a deadly smoke incident near L’Enfant Plaza in January 2015.

“It’s happened twice in a year. I can’t wait for the third time,” Wiedefeld said at a press conference on Tuesday.

Metro will also share its findings from the investigation with the Federal Transit Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board.

Metro Board Chair Jack Evans, who represents Ward 2 on the D.C. Council, said today that the shutdown should be a wake-up call to the region. “We have a capital plan and we are going to need investment in that plan,” he said.

D.C. Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton also underscored the need for firmer financial footing for Metro. “General Manager Wiedefeld deserves a chance put Humpty Dumpty back together again, but with a 5 percent loss in riders over the past five years and an operational deficit of $500 million, he has had no honeymoon,” she said in a statement. “I have already asked for a regional congressional meeting, which I expect Representative Steny Hoyer (D-MD), the senior leader in the region, to call soon.”

Until Thursday morning, here are some suggestions for getting around sans Metrorail.
