Due to security surrounding the dedication of the new Pentagon Memorial on Thursday morning, all Metrobus service that would usually run through the Pentagon Transit Center will be rerouted to Pentagon City. The Center services a good number of bus routes, so if your commute takes you through Northern Virginia on a bus, we’d recommend looking in to some alternate plans on Thursday. Metrorail service at and through the Pentagon station will not be affected.

On to other hindrances — you poor, poor souls on the Yellow Line just cannot swing a weekend off. From 10 p.m. Friday until midnight on Sunday, the bridge over the Potomac River will be closed for Metro’s yearly inspection and track maintenance. Metro’s got a whole spiel about your options in the press release, but just do yourself a favor and take a Blue Line train to get between Alexandria and points north. Otherwise, your usually simple trip could turn into a rainbowed cornucopia of different colored Metro lines.
