Metro Advisory: MAJOR Disruptions 2/13 - 2/16

If you're traveling by Metro in Northern Virginia this weekend (Feb 13-16), be advised that major track work at Pentagon will cause disruptions. Passengers are advised to add 30 minutes to their travel time.


WMATA is replacing a switch at Pentagon and undertaking preventative maintenance on the Fenwick (Yellow Line) Bridge over the Potomac. As a result NO RAIL SERVICE will be provided between Pentagon City and L'Enfant Plaza on the Yellow Line and between Pentagon City and Arlington Cemetery on the Blue Line.

A free shuttle bus will connect passengers between Pentagon City, Pentagon, and L'Enfant Plaza stations. It will run every 5 minutes. Passengers can catch this bus:

• At Pentagon City: Southbound Hayes at 12th, in front of Macy's
• At Pentagon: Bus Bay U7
• At L'Enfant Plaza: Northbound 7th Street at Maryland Avenue NW
  

Blue Line Trains will operate

• From Largo Town Center to Arlington Cemetery (except after 7PM, when trains will be off-loaded at Rosslyn) and
• From Franconia-Springfield to Pentagon City
• NO BLUE LINE SERVICE will operate between Pentagon City and Arlington Cemetery

Yellow Line Trains will operate

• From Huntington to Pentagon City ONLY
• NO YELLOW LINE SERVICE will operate between Pentagon City and L'Enfant Plaza
• NO YELLOW LINE SERVICE will operate north of L'Enfant Plaza

All Pentagon bus service will be relocated to Pentagon City station on Saturday and Sunday.
