Just because it’s Labor Day weekend doesn’t mean Metro is taking off. Hope that you don’t need to ride Metro this weekend because there’s going to be some serious scheduled track work going on. In fact, every line save for the Blue and Yellow Lines will be experiencing some delays due to weekend track work.

But the Red Line is bearing the worst of it: The Bethesda and Medical Center stations will be closed, with bus shuttle service replacing trains. Here’s what else is going on this weekend, via WMATA:

Red Line

Red Line trains will operate as follows from 12:01 Saturday through closing Monday:

• Between Shady Grove and Grosvenor: every 10 minutes.
• Between Friendship Heights and Glenmont: every 10 minutes.

Stations Closed: Bethesda and Medical Center

Last Train Time Change: The last Red Line train of the night from Shady Grove to Grosvenor will depart 35 minutes earlier than normal to allow for shuttle bus connections. On Friday and Saturday nights, the last train will leave Shady Grove at 1:55 a.m. On Sunday and Monday, the last train will leave Shady Grove at 10:55 p.m.

Free shuttle buses will replace Red Line trains between Friendship Heights and Grosvenor. Shuttle buses will operate on two routes:

• Express buses will operate between Friendship Heights and Grosvenor. Add up to 25 minutes of additional travel time.
• Local buses will operate between Friendship Heights and Grosvenor, making intermediate stops at Medical Center and Bethesda. Please allow 10 minutes of travel time for each station stop.
