Metro service information for July 4, 2018

Metrorail will run additional trains during the evening hours on July 4, to accommodate customers attending the fireworks display on the National Mall and other festivities around the region. 

There will be no scheduled track work on the holiday. Metrorail service will operate from 7 a.m. until 11:30 p.m. During the day, trains will run on a Saturday schedule (every 12 minutes on each line) until about 6 p.m., at which time service will ramp up to rush-hour service levels before and after the fireworks. 

All stations will be open; however, after 9 p.m. the National Mall entrance at Smithsonian Station and Arlington Cemetery will become “entry only” to accommodate returning crowds.

Off-peak fares will be in effect all day, and parking will be free at all Metro-operated facilities. Bicycles and large coolers will not be permitted aboard trains due to space constraints.
