Metro Red Line Closures Coming October 4 through 6

During the October 4-6 weekend, Metro is preparing to do extensive work on a core section of the Red Line between Dupont Circle and NoMa-Gallaudet stations.

Beginning at 10 p.m. Friday, October 4, through system closing on Sunday, October 6, free shuttle buses will replace Red Line trains between the two stations to allow for major rebuilding work through the downtown area.

As a result, Farragut North, Judiciary Square and Union Station will be closed. Gallery Place will remain open for Yellow and Green line service only; Metro Center will remain open for Blue and Orange line service only.

During the weekend of October 4-6, Red Line trains will operate as follows:

Between Shady Grove and Dupont Circle - Every 10 minutes between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m., and at regular weekend intervals (every 15-20 minutes) at other times.

Between Glenmont and NoMa-Gallaudet - Every 10 minutes between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m., and at regular weekend intervals (every 15-20 minutes) at other times.
