Blue Line train service between Rosslyn and Pentagon stations will shutter this weekend as Metro’s SafeTrack maintenance program makes its 2017 debut. The program’s 12th surge will wreak havoc on commutes through the end of the month.
This weekend, Red, Yellow, and Silver Line riders aren’t off the hook either. These lines will run every 15 to 20 minutes due to other maintenance projects.
But solace will come to folks riding the Orange and Green Lines, which will run on normal weekend schedules.
Red Line
Trains every 15 minutes | 10:00 p.m. Friday until closing Saturday
Red Line trains will operate every 15 minutes between Shady Grove & Glenmont on Saturday and regular weekend intervals on Sunday.
Single tracking between NoMa-Gallaudet & Rhode Island Avenue to allow for switch maintenance.
