If you’re still game to brave the Metro this weekend after its tumultuous week, take heed of these warnings. The Red Line is still shut down at Rhode Island Ave-Brentwood and Brookland, and will be until September 3 as a part of its extended maintenance to fix damage on the platforms. This weekend, it will also be shut down at Fort Totten (on the Red Line only) and Takoma to allow for rail and fastener repair work. Metro will have shuttle buses available, but strongly suggests that riders use an alternative route (see below).

The Orange, Blue, and Silver lines are running every 24 minutes, and the Yellow and Green lines are running every 15 minutes. The Yellow Line is stopping at Mount Vernon Square.

Some more details:
