Metro track work will slow down riders along the Blue, Yellow and Green lines, and on part of the Silver Line, this weekend.
On the Blue and Yellow lines, all six stations south of Reagan National Airport in Virginia remain closed into September.
On the plus side, Alexandria’s DASH Bus has now set up real-time tracking of the Blue Line local shuttle buses, so that riders can time their arrivals at stops to reduce waiting. The tracking is available through Metro’s busETA and other apps under the route name “BL.”
In Maryland, Blue Line trains will be diverted to New Carrollton rather than Largo Town Center on Saturday and Sunday, reducing scheduled service for riders between Largo and Stadium-Armory, and increasing service at Orange Line stations in Maryland and eastern D.C.
