This Weekend: What To Know If You're Taking Metro

Planning on hopping the Red Line this weekend? Here’s a few things you should know, according to WMATA:

• Major track work is planned on the Red Line this weekend, beginning at 10 p.m. Friday and continuing through system closing Sunday.
• Two stations, Woodley Park and Cleveland Park, will be closed, and free shuttle buses will replace trains between Dupont Circle and Van Ness.  Metro crews will be conducting rail, fastener and insulator renewal, leak repairs, drain cleaning and fiber optic cable installation.
• Remember that clocks spring forward an hour beginning early Sunday morning at 2 a.m. At 2 a.m., when clocks jump forward to 3 a.m., the Metro system will close.
• Trains will operate every 10 minutes during daytime hours and at regular weekend intervals outside those hours between Shady Grove and Van Ness and between Dupont Circle and Glenmont.
• The last train to run before work launches will leave Shady Grove at 9:28 p.m. Friday and arrive at Van Ness at 9:52 p.m. The last train running normally Friday will leave Glenmont at 9:20 p.m.
• The last train from Shady Grove will leave 30 minutes earlier than usual – at 2 a.m. early Saturday and Sunday mornings and at 11 p.m. Sunday night.
• Riders traveling through the work zone should tack on 20 minutes of travel time to their trip.
• Additional work is planned on the Orange, Blue, and Yellow Lines. No track work is scheduled on the Green Line. Check Metro’s press release for more information.
