This Weekend: What to Know if You're Taking Metro

Expect delays on the Red Line.

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

  • Trains will be single-tracking between Grosvenor and Twinbrook as Metro conducts platform repairs between 10 p.m. Friday and closing Sunday.
  • On the other side of the Red Line, trains will single-track between Takoma and Forest Glen to allow for cable installation and station upgrades.
  • Between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m., Red Line trains will run about every 12 minutes between Grosvenor and Fort Totten. Outside of these stations and at all other times, trains will run about every 24 minutes.
  • All Red Line riders should tack on an additional 20 minutes of travel time to their weekend trips.
  • Additional track work is planned this weekend on the Blue, Orange and Green lines. Check Metro’s press release for more information.
