If your Metrorail trip involves Red or Green Line trains this weekend, good for you—there’s no scheduled track work on either line. If you plan on taking any other line, however, you’re going to run into some delays.

The Blue and Yellow Lines are being impacted by Safetrack Surge 3, which is taking place through July 11. It shuts down the two lines between the Braddock Road and Reagan National Airport stops, segmenting the route into two parts. As such, Blue Line trains will run every 15-24 minutes, while Yellow Line trains will arrive every 24 minutes this weekend. Plus, Orange Line trains will run every 12 minutes and Silver Line trains are operating every 24 minutes.
