Metro announces weekend single tracking on the Orange Line
Tomorrow, Metro will perform routine track maintenance on the Orange Line. During this work period, customers’ trips will take 10-15 minutes longer than usual.
Please note the following schedule for this weekend:
To perform this work, Metro must single-track trains operate trains traveling in opposite directions alternately on the same track.
On the Orange Line between West Falls Church-VT/UVA and Vienna/Fairfax-GMU, Metro personnel will perform routine track maintenance and therefore, it will require personnel to be in key safety-sensitive areas of the rail system.
