We’re coming up on the second weekend that Metro is pausing daytime weekend track work for cherry blossom season, so enjoy this while it lasts. But keep in mind that the transit agency is resuming repairs—and adjusting train schedules accordingly—at night. With the exception of the Red and Silver lines, all other trains will single track after 10 p.m. this weekend to allow Metro to continue rail repairs. The Orange and Blue lines are undergoing rail and fastener renewal, and Metro is still installing communication equipment and a new radio system on the Yellow and Green lines.
Additionally, the Silver Line will only travel with regular service between Wiehle-Reston East and Ballston because of repairs to the Orange and Blue lines. Metro suggests riders traveling to and from other stations should use the Orange or Blue lines.
