Metro announces late night track work through the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport Metrorail station

This weekend, Metro will single-track all Blue and Yellow Line trains from Braddock Road to the Pentagon City Metrorail station while construction crews continue installing extended canopies over the platform at the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport station. As a result of this safety-sensitive work, all trains will share the same track from Braddock Road to Pentagon City from 10 p.m. to closing (3 a.m.) on Friday, October 24, and Saturday, October 25. On this segment, customers may experience a delay of up to 10 minutes and, therefore, should allow more time for their trip because of this necessary work. Metro sincerely apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause and thanks its customers for their patience while personnel complete this important project. To alert customers about this work, regular station and train announcements will be made throughout the Metrorail system. For more information on traveling by Metrorail or Metrobus, customers may call (202) 637-7000, TTY at (202) 638-3780.
