Scheduled Delays on Metro's Red Line This Weekend
Red Line trains will run every 10 to 20 minutes this weekend.
Update (Saturday, Dec. 7, 11:30 a.m.): According to an email statement from Metro, "Metro has cancelled all scheduled rebuilding work on Sunday, Dec. 8, to allow crews to prepare for—and respond to—expected winter weather conditions. The move also allows Metro to allocate additional resources to preparing the system for Monday morning's commute."
