It’s been a week, Metro riders, hasn’t it? Barring any more bad weather and, uh, deer, this weekend is looking to be, well, not that great. Five out of six Metro lines will be undergoing scheduled weekend track work, including one station closed (Greenbelt) for repair. Here’s what’s going on:

Red Line

Red Line trains will operate as follows throughout the weekend:

• Between Shady Grove and Glenmont: every 15 minutes.
• Between Van Ness and Silver Spring: every 8-10 minutes Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. only.

Work Performed: Joint elimination, track fastener and insulator renewal for a safer ride will cause Red Line trains to share one track between Medical Center and Friendship Heights

Orange Line

Orange Line trains will operate every 20 minutes throughout the weekend.

Work Performed: Platform rehabilitation will cause Orange Line trains to share one track between Stadium-Armory and Cheverly.

Blue Line

Blue Line trains will operate every 20 minutes throughout the weekend.

Work Performed: Rail renewal for a safer ride will cause Blue Line trains to share one track between Reagan National Airport and Pentagon stations

Yellow Line

Yellow Line trains will operate every 20 minutes throughout the weekend.

All trains will operate to/from Mt. Vernon Sq, rather than Fort Totten. If you are traveling to or from a station north of Mt. Vernon Sq, use a Green Line train to complete your trip.

Work Performed: Rail renewal for a safer ride will cause Yellow Line trains to share one track between Reagan National Airport and Pentagon stations

Green Line

Green Line trains will operate at regular weekend intervals between Branch Avenue and College Park.

Free shuttle buses will replace Green Line trains between College Park and Greenbelt.

Stations Closed: Greenbelt

Work Performed: Continued construction of a new test track located between College Park and Greenbelt to accept Metro’s new fleet of 7000-series railcars
