Description:
Green/Yellow Line Service During Columbus Holiday Weekend

Starting Friday, Oct. 9, at 9:30 p.m., and continuing through Monday, Oct. 12, the Waterfront-SEU Metrorail station (Green Line) and Archives-Navy Memorial-Penn Quarter Metrorail station (Green and Yellow Line) will be closed and there will be no service on the Green and Yellow Line at the L’Enfant Plaza Metrorail station. Regular service will resume service when the rail system opens at 5 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 13.

The Blue and Orange Line at the L’Enfant Plaza Metrorail station will not be affected.

As a result of these station closures on the Yellow and Green lines, the Yellow Line will operate only between the Huntington and Pentagon Metrorail stations. There will be no Yellow Line service between the L’Enfant Plaza and Fort Totten Metrorail stations. The Green Line will operate in two segments, between the Branch Avenue and Navy Yard Metrorail stations, and between the Gallery Pl-Chinatown and Greenbelt Metrorail stations.

Metro will operate free shuttle buses between the Navy Yard and Gallery Pl-Chinatown Metrorail stations to help riders get past the track work.

Metrorail customers who normally ride the Yellow Line between Northern Virginia and the District of Columbia are encouraged to ride the Blue Line during Columbus Day Weekend.

On Tuesday, Oct. 13, customers can expect Green and Yellow Line trains to operate at reduced speeds for a few days through the L’Enfant Plaza Metrorail station following the installation of the new double crossover.

Metro will provide additional details on the frequency of Metrorail service on the Green, Yellow and Blue Lines, shuttle bus service plans to support the Columbus Day Weekend station closures, and customer service efforts in early October.
