Originally scheduled to end in March, Metro announced today that its massive repair effort known as SafeTrack will run through June.

After taking a break for the holidays, winter weather, and inauguration, SafeTrack will resume in mid-February with a doozy of a closure: a segment of Blue line track between Rosslyn and Pentagon will be entirely shut down for more than two weeks, from February 11-28.

In March, work will move to the southern end of the Blue and Yellow lines, affecting the area between Braddock Road and Huntington/Van Dorn Street stations through April 9.

Metro plans to release dates and more information for the last three surges, which will effect parts of the Green, Orange, and Red lines, later in the year.

A separate “major maintenance effort” is scheduled on the weekend of February 4-5 that will include the complete closure of six major downtown stations and the partial closure of another two.

Once SafeTrack concludes, WMATA will continue with a “regimen of preventative maintenance.” The transit agency will continue to have additional nighttime hours to do the work, as the Metro Board recently approved cuts to late-night service for two years.

Here’s the full SafeTrack schedule:
