What Trackwork Are We Doing?

This weekend, Metro will perform maintenance and repairs on four of six lines. On the Red line, trains will single track through the work zones and shuttle buses replace trains on segments of the Blue, Orange and Silver lines. 

On Saturday and Sunday, the work zones and station closures will change on the Blue, Orange, and Silver lines. Four stations will be closed Saturday – Deanwood, Minnesota Ave, Benning Road, and Capitol Heights. Free shuttle buses will run between Stadium-Armory and Cheverly/Addison Road. All four stations will reopen Sunday; however, a segment of the Orange Line will remain closed between Stadium-Armory and Minnesota Ave with free shuttle buses replacing trains between the two stations. 

The work is part of Metro’s Aerial Structure Rehabilitation Project. Crews will work to reinforce the structural integrity of the aerial structure outside Stadium-Armory, closing sections of track where the three lines split. Crews will also install radio and fiber-optic cables, and repair concrete grout pads which support the rails. On the Red Line, trains will single track between Van Ness and Friendship Heights for tunnel leak mitigation, sealing up any water leaks within the work zone.   

Shuttle Bus Information

Free shuttle buses are available between Stadium-Armory and Minnesota Ave, Deanwood and Cheverly on the Orange Line. Free shuttle buses are also available between Stadium-Armory, Benning Rd, Capitol Heights and Addison Rd on the Blue/Silver lines.
