After several weeks of closures, six Metro stations along the Blue and Yellow Lines have reopened.
The stations south of Reagan National Airport have been closed since September. The transit agency was working on the bridge and tunnel between the L'Enfant Plaza and Pentagon stations.
"Get ready for new travel alternatives on the 🔵🟡 Lines after November 5! Stations south of Reagan National Airport will soon reopen, but there will be no Yellow Line service until May 2023,” @wmata tweeted.

Commuters told News4 during the Metro closures they used shuttles and ride-shares to get to their destinations. Metro rider Kristoff Rickerson said the shuttles would get stuck in traffic and he had to leave home 30 minutes to an hour earlier.
"I am happy that they're back up, cause like I said, I use these every day," Rickerson said.
Here's everything you need to know about the changes, including alternate routes.
