The Wiehle-Reston East station on the Silver Line will be closed this weekend due to work on the Silver Line expansion. You can take a free shuttle bus between Spring Hill and Wiehle-Reston if that’s your stop.
Otherwise, congratulations on making it this far through the summer Blue and Yellow line summer shutdown—if you’re still wildly confused about what’s going on, here’s a handy guide. You’ll need it for this weekend, as the shutdown continues and six stations on the Blue and Yellow lines are closed: Franconia-Springfield, Van Dorn Street, King St-Old Town, Braddock Road, Huntington, and Eisenhower Avenue stations are shuttered. There will be shuttle buses operating, but be careful you know exactly where they’re stopping (again, the guide).
Thankfully, the Red, Orange, and Green lines are running regular weekend service.
