From WMATA:
“Customers traveling through Reagan National Airport and Crystal City should plan additional travel time on select weekends from May 9-June 21 as Metro completes construction of a second entrance at the station in support of Arlington County’s Crystal City Improvement Plan.
Crystal City will be closed to build a second entrance at the station as part of Arlington County’s Crystal City Sector plan. The new entrance will accommodate growing ridership at the station, support new development in the area, and play a key role in a broader effort to make Crystal City a walkable community.
On two of those six weekends, the construction zone will be extended to Braddock Rd to support additional track maintenance, requiring closures of Crystal City, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, and Potomac Yard stations; rail service will be suspended in both directions from those stations. Free shuttles will be provided during those weekends as well. (more…)
