Metro Service Advisory: Marathon Work Weekend
Most years, Metrorail holds off on impeding tourists with track work the weekend of the National Cherry Blossom Festival. But with the early bloom, crowds who arrive in time will have to endure the delays.
This weekend’s Metrorail track work hits four of the system’s five lines, with only the Green Line being spared any closures or delays. The Woodley Park and Cleveland Park stations on the Red Line will be closed.
With the three-day weekend coming up—and perhaps some snow—the service advisory from Metrorail is a bit more promising than it has been in recent weeks. Only two of the system’s five lines will be undergoing track work this weekend, and only on suburban stretches.
