Like last week, Metrorail riders should expect to wait up to 20 minutes for some trains this weekend.

Unless you’ve already given up on the Red Line completely, here’s a reminder that you’ll have to make provisions because SafeTrack surge 10 has shut down Rhode Island Avenue and Brookland stations. And the Red Line is running in two segments—between Shady Grove & NoMa-Gallaudet every 12 to 15 minutes, and between Fort Totten & Glenmont every 15 minutes. WMATA suggests taking shuttle buses, and Green and Yellow Lines trains as Metro detour options.

Meanwhile, Orange, Silver and Blue Line trains will operate every 20 minutes, and Yellow and Green Line trains will operate every 16 minutes.

Free shuttle buses replace trains between NoMa-Gallaudet U & Fort Totten | 7:00 a.m. Saturday through closing Sunday

SafeTrack Surge 10 Line segment shutdown between NoMa-Gallaudet U & Fort Totten continues through Tuesday, November 22, 2016.

Red Line trains will operate:

• Between Shady Grove & NoMa-Gallaudet every 12-15 minutes with additional trains between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m.
• Between Fort Totten & Glenmont every 15 minutes.

Brookland and Rhode Island Avenue stations will be closed. Additionally, there is no public parking at the Rhode Island Avenue garage during Surge 10.

Last train times
To allow for shuttle bus connections, the last train will depart Glenmont at 11:02 p.m. (35 minutes earlier than normal) and Shady Grove at 11:30 p.m. (no change)
