Metro's efforts to rebuild the Green Line will continue over the weekend of May 4-6. The work will begin at 10 p.m. Friday, May 4 and continue through system closing on Sunday, May 6.
Buses will replace trains between Greenbelt and Fort Totten to allow for NTSB-recommended switch replacement. The following 4 stations will be closed:
