From WMATA:

“Reconstruction of the Metrorail system will continue over the weekend of May 13-15 with service adjustments on all six lines. Trains will operate as follows:

Red Line trains will operate every 18 minutes.
Orange and Blue Line trains will operate every 20 minutes.
Silver Line trains will operate every 12 minutes between Wiehle-Reston East and Ballston only.
Yellow Line trains will operate every 24 minutes between Huntington and Mt. Vernon Sq only.
Green Line trains will operate every 24 minutes.

Red Line
Trains every 18 minutes | 12:01AM Saturday until closing Sunday

Single tracking between Dupont Circle & Van Ness to allow for rail, tie, fastener and insulator renewal.

Silver Line

Silver Line trains will operate between Wiehle-Reston East and Ballston only. Customers traveling to/from other stations should use Orange and/or Blue line trains to complete their trip. At Ballston, transfer between Silver and Orange line trains on the same platform.
