Metro plans to relocate Kiss & Ride lots at four stations this summer to accommodate shuttles during a summer-long shutdown along the Blue and Yellow lines.
The lots at Huntington, Van Dorn Street, Braddock Road and Eisenhower Avenue stations will be moved in April, Metro said in a press release.
Metro is launching a summer Improvement Project to make badly needed repairs at on platforms. The following stations will close between May 25 and Labor Day 2019: Braddock Road, King Street, Eisenhower Avenue, Huntington, Van Dorn Street and Franconia-Springfield.
Blue and Yellow Line commuters can use shuttle buses to travel through the area.
To accommodate those shuttle buses, Metro is closing its Kiss & Ride lots and opening temporary drop-off zones.
On Sunday, April 21, about half the Kiss & Ride lot will close at Eisenhower Ave Station.
