Update/reminder from WMATA:
“Due to the U.S. – Africa Leaders Summit, a National Special Security Event (NSSE), Metro’s Mt Vernon Sq Station will be closed at the request of U.S. Secret Service over four days beginning at 5 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 12 through the close of service on Thursday, Dec. 15.
The station closure is necessary due to its location within the security perimeter. Green Line trains will pass through Mt Vernon Sq Station without stopping, with normal service to all other stations. Rail service to the station is expected to resume with the start of service on Friday, December 16..
Due to vehicle restrictions within the security perimeter that spans a large area around the Washington Convention Center, shuttle buses to/from Mt Vernon Sq will not be provided. Customers are encouraged to use the Gallery Place-Chinatown or Shaw-Howard U stations, or in some cases Metrobus may be an alternative.”

“Dear PoPville,
Has anyone experience a loss of cellular signal on the Green line right as they approach Mt. Vernon Square station? It happened a few times before to me but now I’m finding it happening almost every time I pass the stop. Would anyone know why this is the case? Could it be a dead zone?”
Update from WMATA: “The damaged fiber on the is also impacting customers on the Green Line between Mt Vernon Sq & Archives. Crews are working to make repairs, and we hope to have connectivity restored to everyone by the weekend. Thanks again for your patience.”
