Both the weather and Metro’s train times are looking better this weekend than last.
Besides the extensive shut down of the Yellow Line and the (now-extended) closure of several stations on the Blue Line, riders can expect few disruptions — at least any planned ones. (No single tracking!) Red Line trains, instead of running every 15 minutes, will be running every 10 — an improvement from last weekend.
Here’s more from Metro:
Red Line
- Trains run every 10 minutes
Orange/Silver Line
- Trains run every 15 minutes
Blue Line
- Trains will run every 15 minutes between National Airport and New Carrollton/Largo Town Center
- The Franconia-Springfield, Van Dorn Street, King St-Old Town, and Braddock Road stations are closed. Service will be replaced with shuttle buses.
- Due to the Army Ten-Miler race, Pentagon Station will be closed on Sunday from opening (7 a.m.) until 8 a.m.
Yellow Line
- There is no Yellow Line service until 2023. Riders should use the Green or Blue lines.
- Express shuttle service will run between Huntington and Pentagon City every six minutes.
- A local shuttle will run between the Huntington, Eisenhower Avenue, King St-Old Town, Braddock Road, and Crystal City stations every 10-15 minutes. This shuttle will not stop at the airport, so those traveling between National Airport and Greenbelt should use the Blue or Green line.
Green Line
- Trains run every 8 minutes.
