Red Line Single-Tracks for System Upgrades
Metro: Red Line riders should allow for about 10 minutes of added travel time this weekend.
Red Line trains will single-track between Judiciary Square and Rhode Island Avenue this weekend, starting at 10 p.m. on Friday, March 8, and continuing through closing on Sunday, according to Metro's website.
The single-tracking will allow for track renewal and communication system upgrades, Metro reported.
Throughout the weekend, Red Line trains will operate every 20 minutes, with the exception of between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, when additional trains will operate between Shady Grove and Judiciary Square, resulting in service at about every 10 minutes between those stations, Metro added.
