Starting tonight at 10 p.m. and lasting through Sunday, March 15 at midnight, riders should expect 30-minute delays while trains single track between the Convention Center and the U Street/African-Amer Civil War Memorial/Cardozo station. In addition, Yellow Line trains will not go all the way to Fort Totten during the entire weekend, meaning old-school Green line off-peak wait times will be in effect along the entire upper corridor of the line. Yellow Line trains will only travel between the Huntington and Mt. Vernon Sq/7th St-Convention Center stations this weekend.
Additional track work at the far end of the Orange Line will be back in effect this weekend as well, with 30-minute delays expected as trains share one track between Vienna/Fairfax-GMU and West Falls Church-VT/UVA from 8 p.m. tonight to midnight on Sunday, March 15. Every other Orange Line train in the direction of Vienna/Fairfax-GMU will terminate at West Falls Church-VT/UVA and return to New Carrollton.
Check with Metro for all the details.
