Maintenance to Disturb Metro This Weekend

Maintenance on the Blue, Orange, and Red Lines over Memorial Day weekend will result in disturbances in Metro performance, according to the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit authority.

On the Blue and Orange lines, buses will replace trains between Federal Center SW and Minnesota Ave and Benning Road stations, and four stations—Capitol South, Eastern Market, Potomac Ave and Stadium-Armory—will be closed. The work will begin at 10 p.m., Friday, May 27, and continue through closing on Monday, May 30.

The transit authority will be making improvements to escalators and elevators, among other work.

Metro’s online Trip Planner will not reflect the impact of this work on its schedules. For additional travel information, customers may call (202) 637-7000 or TTY (202) 638-3780. Also, visit the metro's website to read the full advisory with more information.
