Abandon all hope, ye who enter the Red line: there’s going to be some serious track work this weekend that could affect your plans and goings-on, so listen up. A huge track rehabilitation project (something to do with, er, grout pad? Sounds uncomfortable) on the Red Line will disrupt service between Grosvenor-Strathmore and the Medical Center; the stations will remain open but without service. WMATA will operate free shuttle bus service every five minutes between Grosvenor-Strathmore and Medical Center.
But don’t think you gloating suckers on the Orange, Blue or Yellow lines are going get off scot-free this weekend, either. Oh no. There’s construction taking place on those lines as well, starting tonight, and several sections of the lines will be one-tracked. Sayeth WMATA’s site:
Metro advises patrons attending Saturday evening’s D.C. United soccer game at RFK Stadium and Sunday evening’s World Wrestling Entertainment event at the MCI Center to add extra time into their schedules while traveling to these events due to single track operations on these rail lines.
As always, keep your eye on DCist and WMATA for any further announcements or disruptions.
