WMATA Red Line undergoing renovation to improve reliability, service
Written by jrood
June 18-20, Washington, D.C., Metro will make upgrades to the track and a bridge on the Red Line 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 of up to 30 minutes.
Metrorail riders traveling
between the Shady Grove and Twinbrook Metrorail stations should add at least 30
minutes to their travel times because Metro will be welding new rail on the
tracks in that area. Trains will share one track between these from 7 a.m. to 6
p.m., on Saturday, June 19 and Sunday, June 20.
Metrorail riders traveling
between the New York Ave-Florida Ave-Gallaudet U and Rhode Island Ave-Brentwood
Metrorail stations should add at least 20 minutes to their travel time because
Metro will be conducting maintenance on a portion of elevated tracks that cross
a bridge outside the Rhode Island Ave-Brentwood Metrorail station. Trains will
share one track between these locations the entire weekend.
