It’s going to take Metro riders who use the Red Line a little longer to get around part of the D.C. area this holiday weekend.

Metro said trains will be running less frequently this weekend and on Monday, while a leak is repaired.

Trains will operate every 10 minutes from Shady Grove to Silver Spring, and every 20 minutes from Silver Spring to Glenmont.

For riders heading north of Silver Spring, Metro suggested boarding a Glenmont-bound train or transferring at Silver Spring.

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.
