This Weekend: What To Know If You're Taking Metro

Planning on hopping the Red Line this weekend? Here’s a few things you need to know, according to WMATA:

• Work is planned on the Red Line this weekend, launching Friday at 10 p.m. continuing through closing Sunday.
• Trains will once again be single-tracking between Friendship Heights and Van Ness as Metro crews conduct rail fastener renewal, leak repairs and track bed cleaning.
• Trains will also be single tracking between New York Avenue and Rhode Island Avenue.
• Trains will run about every 15 minutes on the Red Line this weekend. From 9 a.m. Saturday through 9 p.m. Sunday, additional service will have trains running every 7-8 minutes between Van Ness and New York Avenue.
• Riders traveling through the work zones should tack on an additional 10-15 minutes to their trip time.
• Additional work is planned on the Orange, Green and Yellow Lines. On the Orange Line, buses will replace trains between East Falls Church and West Falls Church. For more information, check Metro’s press release.
