Four Green Line Metro stations will be closed this weekend. In addition, maintenance on the Red and Orange lines will cause travel delays.
On the Green Line, the Waterfront, Navy Yard, Anacostia and Congress Heights stations will be closed from 10 p.m. Friday until 5 a.m. Monday. Shuttle buses will be available, but customers should allow 30 additoinal minutes of travel time.
Trains will share one track between Dupont Circle and Judiciary Square on the Red Line. Metro says customers should allow 30 minutes of extra travel time or make alternate travel plans. They are expecting crowded conditions.
On the Orange Line, trains will share one track between Carrollton and Cheverly. Customers should expect an extra 20-minute wait.
Meanwhile, Metro will open two hours early Sunday -- at 5 a.m. -- for the benefit of customers traveling to the Marine Corps Marathon.
Arlington Cemetery Station on the Blue Line will open after the start of the race. Metro will operate additional Blue Line trains from 5 to 9 a.m., and from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Blue Line trains will operate every 7 1/2 minutes between Franconia-Springfield and Stadium-Armory stations.
Buses that normally use the Pentagon Transit Center will be relocated to Pentagon City Station between 4 a.m. and 4 p.m. Customers who normally transfer between bus and rail at the Pentagon should plan to travel via Pentagon City instead.
Race participants are encouraged to use a SmarTrip card or a plastic cover to protect paper farecards. In previous years, race participants have had their farecards demagnetized due to moisture.
