If you’re planning on riding the Red Line this weekend, be aware that you will face delays as construction crews continue track work at the New York Avenue-Florida Avenue-Gallaudet University metrorail station. The portion of the Red Line between Union Station and Fort Totten will shut down as a double-crossover track junction is being installed south of the station. A free shuttle bus will replace train service to the Rhode Island Avenue and Brookland-CUA stations. Trains on the rest of the line will run every 8-10 minutes during the day and every 12-15 minutes at night.

WMATA is encouraging passengers traveling through Fort Totten to use the Green Line to access the downtown portion of the Red Line.

Also, the construction will close K Street NE under metrorail tracks the Union Station rail yards.
