From WMATA:
The ongoing effort to rebuild and upgrade the Metrorail system to provide safer and more reliable service will continue over Veterans’ Day weekend, November 9-12, on the Red, Orange and Green lines. The work will begin at 10 p.m. Friday and continue through system closing on Veterans’ Day, Monday, November 12.
There is no scheduled track work this weekend on the Blue or Yellow lines.
On Veterans’ Day, Monday, November 12, Metrorail service will operate on a Saturday schedule. The system will open at 5 a.m. and close at midnight. Metrobus service will operate on a “Saturday Supplemental” schedule; customers should check timetables for details.
Red Line: Trains will single track between Grosvenor and Friendship Heights to allow for rail and fastener renewal, as well as tunnel leak repairs. Throughout the weekend, trains will operate every 20 minutes between Shady Grove and Glenmont. Between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, additional trains will operate between Friendship Heights and Glenmont, resulting in service an average of every 10 minutes between those stations. Customers traveling through the work zone should allow about 10 minutes of additional travel time.
Orange Line: Buses will replace Orange Line trains between East Falls Church and Clarendon as Metro replaces track switches outside Ballston Station. In addition, trains will single track between Vienna and East Falls Church to allow for testing associated with the Silver Line extension project.
As a result, two stations — Ballston and Virginia Square — will be closed. Free shuttle bus service will operate between East Falls Church and Clarendon, making intermediate station stops.
Throughout the weekend, Orange Line trains will operate in two segments:
• Between Clarendon and New Carrollton at regular weekend service intervals
• Between Vienna and East Falls Church every 24 minutesCustomers traveling through the work zone via shuttle bus service should allow about 30 minutes of additional travel time. Customers traveling to/from stations west of East Falls Church should allow up to 45 minutes of additional travel time (30 minutes for shuttle bus service plus up to 15 minutes due to single tracking).
Green Line: Trains will single track between Greenbelt and College Park to allow for construction associated with a new track to test 7000-series railcars. Every other train will originate/terminate at College Park, rather than Greenbelt. Green Line trains will operate normally, at regular weekend intervals, between College Park and Branch Avenue. Customers traveling to or from Greenbelt Station only should allow about 10 minutes of additional travel time.

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.
