Taking the Metro to get around this weekend? Here’s what to expect.

Red Line
Beginning at 10 p.m. Friday and continuing through closing Sunday, Red Line trains will single track in two areas: between Dupont Circle and Friendship Heights to allow for track circuit replacement, and rail and fastener renewal, and between Takoma and Forest Glen to allow for fiber optic cable installation and platform rehabilitation. Throughout the weekend, Red Line trains will operate between Shady Grove and Glenmont every 30 minutes. Between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, additional trains will operate between Fort Totten and Farragut North.

Blue/Orange Lines
Beginning at 10 p.m. Friday and continuing through closing Sunday, Blue and Orange line trains will single track between Smithsonian and Eastern Market to allow for rail fastener improvements. Orange and Blue line trains will depart endpoint terminals every 26 minutes, resulting in trains every 13 minutes at stations served by both lines.

Green Line
Beginning at 10 p.m. Friday and continuing through closing Sunday, Green Line trains will share one track in two areas: between Georgia Ave-Petworth and Fort Totten to allow for rail maintenance and between Naylor Road and Branch Ave to allow for fastener renewal. Green Line trains will operate every 15 minutes.
