If your weekend plans involve the Red Line, be advised: the Union Station and NoMa-Gallaudet stations are closed, and riders will have to take shuttle buses to stops between Judiciary Square and Rhode Island Avenue. Technicians will be repairing a broken switch. But take heart: the trains will be running 10 minutes apart for most of the day, which is faster than the other lines this weekend.

The Orange, Silver, and Blue lines will all be running 26 minutes apart. The Silver line is running between Wiehle-Reston East and Ballston only, to allow for “rebuilding” on the Orange and Blue lines. The Yellow and Green lines are running 15 minutes apart, but—as with many a weekend—the Yellow Line is only running up to Mount Vernon Square.

Red Line

Buses replace trains between Judiciary Square and Rhode Island Avenue

Red Line trains operate:

• Between Shady Grove and Judiciary Square every 10 minutes 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., every 15 minutes after 9:00 p.m.
• Between Rhode Island Avenue and Glenmont every 15 minutes.

Free shuttle buses will operate between Judiciary Square, Union Station, NoMa-Gallaudet and Rhode Island Avenue. Please allow 10 minutes of travel time for each station stop.

Please note, shuttle buses at Judiciary Square will be located at the corner of 5th and F streets.

Stations closed: Union Station and NoMa-Gallaudet

Last train time: To accommodate shuttle bus connections, the last Rhode Island Avenue-bound Red Line train will depart stations between Glenmont and Brookland 33 minutes earlier than regularly scheduled.
