The Pentagon City Metro station reopened after closing for almost two hours Saturday evening because of a suspicious package and bomb threat at the station in Arlington.
After investigation, police determined the package did not contain a bomb, according to authorities
Metro spokeswoman Cathy Asato says Metro Transit Police began investigating the incident at about 5:30 p.m. Saturday.
Asato said that someone called Metro Transit Police, reporting that there was a bomb in a package at the Arlington station.
Trains were turning around on either side of Pentagon City on the blue and yellow lines, as a result.
Metro also set up shuttle bus service between L'Enfant Plaza and Crystal City and between Arlington Cemetery and Crystal City.
Asato says Metro resumed normal service around 7:40 p.m. Riders may still experience some delays because of the large crowds at the cherry blossom festival and attending a Washington Nationals game.
