From WMATA:
Metro’s rebuilding efforts will continue over the weekend of July 20-22 on the Red, Green, Blue and Orange lines. The work will begin at 10 p.m. Friday and continue through system closing on Sunday.
Red Line: Buses will replace trains between Grosvenor and Friendship Heights stations to allow for rail renewal/replacement, structural repairs, tunnel leak mitigation and related improvements. Medical Center and Bethesda stations will be closed. Red Line trains will operate in two segments — between Shady Grove and Grosvenor and between Friendship Heights and Glenmont — every 10 minutes between 9:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. and at regular weekend intervals at other times. Customers traveling through the work zone should allow about 30 minutes of additional travel time.
Please note: Buses will also replace trains on this segment of the Red Line during the weekends of July 27-29 and August 10-12.
Green Line: Trains will single track between Fort Totten and Prince George’s Plaza to allow for track maintenance, tie and fastener renewal and third-rail power improvements throughout the weekend, every 16 minutes. Customers should allow about 10 minutes of additional travel time. As a result of the work zone, all Yellow Line trains will operate between Huntington and Mount Vernon Square only. Customers traveling to/from stations north of Mount Vernon Square should use Green Line trains to complete their trip.
Blue Line: Trains will single track between Van Dorn Street and Franconia-Springfield to allow for tie and insulator renewal, rail tamping and other necessary track work. Trains will operate at or near normal weekend frequencies. However, between 9 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, every other Blue Line train will begin/end at Van Dorn Street, rather than Franconia-Springfield. Customers traveling to/from Franconia-Springfield Station should allow about 15 minutes of additional travel time.
Orange Line: Trains will single track in two work zones: Between East Falls Church and West Falls Church to allow for work associated with the Silver Line extension and between Stadium-Armory and Cheverly for platform reconstruction. Throughout the weekend, Orange Line trains will depart Vienna and New Carrollton every 24 minutes. On Saturday and Sunday between 9 a.m. and 6:30 p.m., additional trains will operate between Vienna and Stadium-Armory, providing service an average of every 12 minutes. Customers should allow additional travel time.
There is no work scheduled this weekend on the Yellow line. However, all Yellow Line trains will begin/end their trips at Mount Vernon Square, rather than Fort Totten, due to scheduled track work on the Green Line. Customers traveling to/from stations north of Mount Vernon Square should use Green Line trains to complete their trip.

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
