Written by jrood

Track maintenance on the Washington, D.C., Metro Orange, Blue and Yellow lines Nov. 6-8 will cause inbound and outbound trains to take turns sharing one track. Customers should add 30 minutes to their trips.

Orange Line

customers traveling between the Cheverly and Stadium-Armory Metrorail stations
should add at least 30 minutes to their travel time because Metro will replace
crossties and conduct maintenance on the aerial structure outside the
Stadium-Armory Metrorail station. Trains will share one track between these
locations the entire weekend from 9:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 6, to closing
(midnight) on Sunday, Nov. 8. 



Blue and Yellow Line 

Metrorail
customers traveling between the Braddock Road and Van Dorn Street (Blue Line)
and Braddock Road and Huntington (Yellow Line) Metrorail stations should add 30
minutes of travel time for their trips because Metro will be trimming weeds and
leaves along the tracks.
