As the Maryland Transportation Administration continues work on the Purple Line, a 16-mile-long light rail project, Metro will close four stations yet again this weekend to accommodate the work. When completed, the Purple Line will connect the Red, Orange, and Green lines, as well as MARC, Amtrak, and Metro bus routes.

But for this weekend, the Silver Spring, Forest Glen, Wheaton, and Glenmont stations will be closed. Shuttle buses will replace Red Line trains between Fort Totten and Glenmont, but on two separate routes. One shuttle will run only between Takoma and Silver Spring, while the other will stop at Fort Totten, Silver Spring, Forest Glen, Wheaton, and Glenmont. Trains between Shady Grove and Takoma will run every 6-8 minutes.

Service on the Orange, Silver, Yellow, Green, and Blue lines will run normally.
