Alexandria residents rejoice! The six Metro stations south of Reagan National Airport will reopen on Sunday, after closures since September that allowed Metro to connect the new Potomac Yard station to the rest of the tracks. (The station itself will open in early 2023.) Keep in mind that Metro closure woes will continue on the Yellow Line into the spring.
Otherwise, service will be normal on most lines — though Green Line riders should take note of small changes that may affect service between College Park and Greenbelt.
Here’s more from Metro:
Red Line
- Trains run every 10 minutes.
Orange Line
- Trains run every 15 minutes.
Silver Line
- Trains run every 15 minutes.
Green Line
- Due to equipment testing, trains will run every 8 minutes between Branch Ave and College Park, and every 16 minutes between Branch Ave and Greenbelt.
Yellow Line
- The Yellow Line is closed until spring 2023.
- On Saturday, shuttles serve all stations between Huntington and Crystal City every 10-15 minutes. An express shuttle runs between Huntington and Crystal City every 15 minutes from 6:30 am – 9 pm.
- On Sunday, there will be no Yellow Line service at all. Riders should use the Green and Blue Lines instead.
Blue Line
- On Saturday, trains run every 15 minutes between Largo and National Airport, with shuttles replacing trains south of National Airport every 10-20 minutes. An express shuttle between Franconia-Springfield and Crystal City will run every 15 minutes from 6:30 am – 9 pm.
- On Sunday, trains run every 15 minutes along the whole line. (!)
