Weekend Green Line closures add to Yellow Line shutdown

WASHINGTON — In addition to the ongoing Yellow Line shutdown, a major Green Line shutdown will disrupt Metro service this weekend.

On Saturday and Sunday, there will be no trains between Navy Yard and Mt. Vernon Square.

As crews work on lighting improvements, only shuttle buses will run this weekend between Navy Yard-Ballpark, Waterfront, L’Enfant Plaza, Archives, Gallery Place and Mt. Vernon Square.

More on Metro

Gallery Place will still have Red Line service; L’Enfant Plaza will still have Blue, Orange and Silver Line service.

No track work is planned this weekend on the Red, Orange or Silver lines, so those lines or bus routes provide potential alternatives for riders trying to avoid the lines slowed by work.

The Yellow Line is shut down through Sunday, Dec. 9, with normal service scheduled to resume Monday, Dec. 10.

Blue Line trains are running every 16 to 20 minutes Saturday and Sunday along most of the line, but split at King Street to run either to Franconia-Springfield or Huntington. Riders can get shorter waits by going to Braddock Road or King Street than rather than stations farther south.

Washington Manassas Airport cleared to offer commercial airline flights

Washington Manassas Airport, formerly known as Manassas Regional Airport, has taken a big step toward its goal of offering passenger service. The airport, which is owned by the city of Manassas, Virginia, received its FAA Part 139 Airport Operating Certificate, a designation required before commercial airlines can begin service. During a ceremony Monday, FAA Associate Administrator Dan Edwards presented a framed version of the certificate to airport leaders.  Edwards said it's "extremely rare" for an existing airport that caters to private flights to clear this hurdle.
