With the weather forecast calling for torrential downpour and potential flooding over the next few days, it’s a good thing there’s not much track work scheduled for Metro this weekend. Nevertheless, Red and Orange line riders will still experience some delays. Still, considering how wet it’s going to be, delayed trains are probably a better traveling option than taking Metrobus, which are sure to be slow this weekend due to the rain.

Anyway, here’s what’s going down this weekend:

Red Line

Trains every 10-18 minutes.

Red Line trains will operate as follows from 10 p.m. Friday through closing Sunday:

• Between Shady Grove and Glenmont: Every 18 minutes throughout the weekend.
• Between Van Ness and Judiciary Square: Every 10 minutes from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. only

Work Performed: Crews will perform floating slab rehabilitation between Van Ness and Friendship Heights; insulator and fastener renewal between NoMa-Gallaudet and Judiciary Square.

Orange Line

Trains every 24 minutes.

Orange Line trains will operate every 24 minutes throughout the weekend.

Work Performed: Crews will continue platform rehabilitation at Minnesota Avenue; grout pad replacement and rail joint elimination between Stadium-Armory and Cheverly; along with rail, tie and insulator renewal between East Falls Church and West Falls Church.

The rest of the lines are clear. Celebrate by sacrificing something to the Metro gods.
