From WMATA:
The massive effort to rebuild Metrorail will continue over the weekend of June 8-10 on the Orange, Blue, Red and Green lines. The work will begin at 10 p.m. Friday and continue through system closing on Sunday.
Orange Line
Buses will replace Orange Line trains between East Falls Church and West Falls Church to allow for testing associated with the Silver Line Metrorail extension. Orange Line trains will operate in two sections: between Vienna and West Falls Church at regular weekend intervals, and between East Falls Church and New Carrollton at regular weekend intervals. Customers using shuttle bus service should allow about 20 minutes of additional travel time.
Blue Line
Trains will single track between Stadium-Armory and Addison Road to allow for repairs to the “floating concrete slabs” beneath the rails. Blue Line trains will depart Largo Town Center and Franconia-Springfield every 20 minutes. Customers should allow about 15 minutes of additional travel time.
Red Line
Trains will single track between Takoma and Forest Glen to allow for platform reconstruction and fiber optic cable installation. Red Line trains between Shady Grove and Glenmont will operate every 20 minutes throughout the weekend. Customers should allow 10 minutes of additional travel time. Between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, additional trains will operate between Shady Grove and New York Ave stations, providing service every 10 minutes on the western side of the Red Line.
Green Line
Green Line trains will single track between College Park and Greenbelt to allow for tie renewal. Trains will operate at normal weekend intervals. Every other train will begin/end service at College Park, rather than Greenbelt. Customers traveling to/from Greenbelt Station should allow up to 15 minutes of additional travel time.
There is no scheduled track work this weekend on the Yellow Line.

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.
