If your weekend plans require travel on the Yellow or Green lines, fret not: those are the only Metro lines offering up regular weekend service on June 23 and 24. If you have to take the Red Line, things look a little worse—trains are running every nine to 18 minutes. The Orange and Silver lines are capping weekend run intervals at 24 minutes.

The Blue Line will be the most frustrating to navigate. With the closure of the Arlington Cemetery station to install cables for cellular communication, trains are only operating between Franconia-Springfield and National Airport. Riders will have to take shuttle buses between Pentagon and Arlington Cemetery, and rely on the Silver or Yellow line to complete their trip.

Additionally, the Orange and Silver lines will be single-tracking between Foggy Bottom and Clarendon for more cable work. The Red Line is single tracking between Twinbrook and Grosvenor to allow for new rail, fasteners and cover boards to be installed.

Last Train information: To coordinate with this weekend’s service changes, the last Blue Line train will meet customers at National Airport. Customers must take a Silver Line train to L’Enfant Plaza then transfer to a Huntington-bound Yellow Line train upstairs. At National Airport, transfer to the last Blue Line train for service to Van Dorn Street & Franconia-Springfield.
