Weekend Track Work: Metro to fix track issue with impacts to Blue, Orange, and Silver Lines on Sunday

From 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday, the Blue, Orange, and Silver lines will have reduced service due to track work near the Potomac Ave. Metrorail Station.

The Blue Line will be shortened and Orange and Silver line trains will single track.

Crews will be repairing a restraining rail on a curved track section with bad fasteners and broken studs that hold the rail down. Trains have been running through the area at reduced speeds. The repair will allow trains to run at usual speeds again.
