Trains will operate in two segments: between Benning Road and Largo Town Center, and between Stadium-Armory and Franconia-Springfield. Those traveling through the work zone should expect trips to take at least an extra 20 minutes.

And on the Red Line, trains will single-track in two segments: between Judiciary Square and Rhode Island Avenue, and between Medical Center and Grosvenor. Trains will run every 20 minutes between Glenmont and Shady Grove. However, extra trains will operate between Medical Center and Judiciary Square, running every 10 minutes, between 9:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m.
