August 6-8, Metro in Washington, D.C., will upgrade its track on the Red and Green lines to improve reliability and service. As a result of this crucial work aimed at keeping the railroad in a state of good repair, riders can expect delays between 20 and 40 minutes.
This weekend the Legg Mason

Center in Rock Creek Park. Fans attending this weekend’s tournament and using
Metrorail to catch the free shuttle buses from the Van Ness-UDC Metrorail
station should add at least 40 minutes to their travel times due to this weekend’s
track maintenance on the Red Line.
