Green Line Major Construction
Advisory Effective: 8/2/25 - 8/31/25
The Summer 2025 Major Construction project is being conducted in two phases. During Phase 2, which lasts from Aug. 2-31, 2025, Branch Av, Suitland, and Naylor Rd stations will close on the Green Line. During this period, Metrorail service on the Green Line will terminate at Southern Av Station.
Additionally, for two weekends —Aug. 9-10 and Aug. 16-17, 2025 —Southern Av and Congress Heights stations will close on the Green Line. During these weekends, Metrorail service on the Green Line will terminate at Anacostia.
Metro chose a four-week construction schedule to avoid seven months of consecutive weekend closures. This work will improve tracks and signaling, resulting in a safer and smoother ride for customers.
How will this work affect my trip?
Branch Av, Suitland, and Naylor Rd stations will close on the Green Line from Aug. 2-31, 2025. For two weekends, Aug. 9-10 and Aug. 16-17, 2025, Southern Av and Congress Heights stations will also be closed.
Free parking will be available at Branch Av, Suitland, and Naylor Rd stations from Aug. 2-31, 2025. During this period, free shuttle buses will replace trains at Branch Av, Suitland, and Naylor Rd stations and will extend to include service through Southern Av and Congress Heights to Anacostia for the weekends of Aug. 9-19 and Aug. 16-17, 2025.
