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

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

• Work is planned on the Red Line this weekend, launching Friday at 10 p.m. continuing through closing Sunday.
• Trains will be single-tracking between Friendship Heights and Van Ness as Metro crews conduct rail fastener renewal, leak repairs and track bed cleaning.
• Trains will also be single tracking between New York Avenue and Rhode Island Avenue.
• Trains will run about every 15 minutes on the Red Line this weekend. From 9 a.m. Saturday through 9 p.m. Sunday, additional service will have trains running every 7-8 minutes between Van Ness and New York Avenue.
• Riders traveling through the work zones should tack on an additional 10-15 minutes to their trip time.
