Winter 2025 Major Construction
Project Overview
In Winter 2025, Metro is performing major construction on the Green Line. From Dec. 16-30, 2025, Metrorail will single track in both directions between Georgia Av-Petworth, Columbia Heights, and U Street stations on the Green Line to accommodate planned work to improve Metro's customer experience. The actual construction will only take place at U Street and Columbia Heights, but customers at Georgia Ave-Petworth will be impacted by the single-tracking through U Street station.
Affected stations will remain open for the duration of the construction. Green Line trains will operate every 16 minutes between Branch Ave and Greenbelt, while Yellow Line trains will run every 8 minutes between Huntington and Mt. Vernon Sq on both weekdays and weekends.
Once construction ends, the planned Yellow Line extension to Greenbelt will begin on Dec. 31. Half of Yellow Line trains will operate between Huntington and Greenbelt and the other half will operate between Huntington and Mt. Vernon Square.
Anticipated Construction Activities
During this construction project, crews will complete infrastructure repairs and planned improvements, including:
- Replacing rail and fastening systems
- Renewing communications and signal equipment
- Restoring lighting infrastructure
