Metro is doing maintenance work downtown on the Orange/Blue lines this Columbus Day weekend. Red Line trains will still service Metro Center normally. so plan accordingly. From the press release:
Metro will close the Farragut West and McPherson Square Metrorail stations and there will be no Blue or Orange Line service at the Metro Center Metrorail station during the three-day Columbus Day Holiday Weekend from 10 p.m., Friday, Oct. 8, to closing on Monday, Oct. 11, as the agency undertakes a major rehabilitation and rebuilding project to improve safety, comply with a recommendation made by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and maintain service reliability and a state of good repair. Red Line service will continue through Metro Center. Normal service will resume on Tuesday, Oct. 12.
To help riders get through the work zone, Metro will operate free shuttle buses around the station closures. Customers should build an extra 40 minutes into their travel plans if they need to pass through the work zone. Waits for shuttle buses are expected to be long due to downtown traffic patterns. Customers are advised to avoid the area of track work, if possible.
