From WMATA:
The ongoing effort to rebuild and upgrade the Metrorail system to provide safer and more reliable service will continue over the weekend of March 15-17 on the Red and Orange lines. The work will begin at 10 p.m. Friday and continue through system closing on Sunday.
There is no scheduled work this weekend on the Green, Yellow or Blue lines.
On Saturday, March 16, the Metrorail system will open two hours early — at 5 a.m. — for the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon.
Red Line
• Free shuttle buses will replace Red Line trains between NoMa-Gallaudet and Takoma for ongoing platform reconstruction, track upgrades and DDOT bridge work.
• Three stations will be closed: Rhode Island Ave, Brookland and Fort Totten.
• Red Line trains will operate in two segments: between Glenmont and Takoma, and between NoMa-Gallaudet and Shady Grove.
• Trains will operate every 10 minutes from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. and every 15 minutes at other times.
• Shuttle bus service will operate between NoMa-Gallaudet and Takoma stations. Customers using shuttle bus service should add up to 40 minutes to their travel time. • Customers can use Green Line trains between Fort Totten and Gallery Place to avoid the work zone.
• Note: To allow for bus connections, the last train of the night from Glenmont to Takoma will depart 38 minutes earlier than normal — at 1:59 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights, and at 10:59 p.m. on Sunday night.Orange Line
• Orange Line trains will single track through two work zones: between East Falls Church and West Falls Church for Silver Line testing, and between Stadium-Armory and Cheverly to allow for platform reconstruction, tie and insulator renewal, and track maintenance.
• Orange Line trains will operate every 24 minutes throughout the weekend.
• Customers traveling on the Orange Line should allow about 15 minutes of additional travel time.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
