From WMATA:
“Reminder: Red Line summer construction starts (Monday) at 5 a.m.! 🔴🧵
Free shuttles replace trains between North Bethesda & Friendship Heights. Dedicated bus-only lanes along MD 355 (Rockville Pike/Wisconsin Ave) will help get customers to their destinations faster in Montgomery County.
Free shuttle buses will replace trains at the following stations: Grosvenor-Strathmore, Medical Center, and Bethesda.
During this period, Red Line trains will operate every six minutes during the daytime and every ten minutes during late night service in two segments:
Between Shady Grove and North Bethesda
Between Friendship Heights and Glenmont”
And for those who’ve joined the cult of metro, rejoice!
