This weekend: Buses replace trains between Stadium-Armory and Downtown Largo on Silver and Blue lines

On Saturday, April 25, and Sunday, April 26, free shuttle buses will replace trains between Stadium-Armory and Downtown Largo on the Blue and Silver lines. 

Rail service will be suspended at Benning Rd, Capitol Heights, Addison Rd, Morgan Blvd, and Downtown Largo. Crews will be working on air blown fiber installation. This installation method facilitates faster completion of the work, minimizing the need for longer station closures.
