Blue Line Track Maintenance
Metrorail customers traveling between the Stadium-Armory and Addison Road-Seat Pleasant Metrorail stations should add at least 30 minutes of travel time for their trips because Metro will be replacing floating slabs, the concrete support structures underneath the tracks. Trains will share one track between these locations from 10 p.m., Friday, July 24, to closing (midnight) on Sunday, July 26.
