Metro’s rebuilding efforts will continue over the weekend of June 29-July 1 on the Orange, Blue and Red lines.

Orange Line: Beginning at 10 p.m. Friday, June 29, and continuing through system closing on Sunday, July 1, buses will replace Orange Line trains between Stadium-Armory and New Carrollton for track maintenance, tie and fastener renewal, grout work and platform rehabilitation. Five stations will be closed: New Carrollton, Landover, Cheverly, Deanwood and Minnesota Avenue. Orange Line trains will operate between Vienna and Stadium-Armory at regular weekend intervals. Free shuttle buses will operate on two routes: express service between New Carrollton and Stadium-Armory only, and local service between all closed stations. Customers using express shuttle bus service should allow 30 minutes additional additional travel time; customers using local shuttle bus service should allow up to 60 minutes of additional travel time.

Blue Line: Beginning at 10 p.m. Friday, June 29, and continuing through system closing on Sunday, July 1, buses will replace Blue Line trains between Stadium-Armory and Benning Road for track maintenance, tie and fastener renewal, grout work and platform rehabilitation.

Customers traveling through the work zone should allow about 20 minutes of additional travel time.
