Prepare for the closure of four Virginia stations on the Orange and Silver lines this weekend as the transit agency installs trackbed lighting there.

On both lines, free shuttle buses will replace trains from East Falls Church to Rosslyn. The Ballston, Virginia Square, Clarendon, and Court House stations will be closed. The last train on both lines is leaving earlier than usual to accommodate the shuttle bus connections, per Metro (you can check the exact train times here).

On the Red Line, trains will be running a little slow—every 18 minutes—thanks to the installation of cables and communication equipment to give you cell service in the tunnels.

The Blue, Yellow, and Green lines are running normal weekend service.
