Planning to ride the Metrorail this Veterans’ Day weekend?
Metro says multiple stations will be closed at times on the Green and Red Lines due to major track work and signal system repairs.
The Waterfront, Navy Yard, Anacostia and Congress Heights stations on the Green Line will be close at 10 p.m. on Thursday and will not reopen until Monday, according to Metro. Buses will run between the L’Enfant Plaza and Southern Avenue stations instead of trains.
The Shady Grove and Rockville stations on the Red Line will close early on Saturday at 11 p.m., but will reopen Sunday morning at 7 a.m., says Metro.
Metro says free shuttle buses will make stops at the closed Metro stations.
