Weekend Service Adjustments

June 1, 2016

    Metrorail to close at midnight, Friday and Saturday nights, beginning June 3.

    Orange and Silver line trains will continuously single track between East Falls Church and Ballston from June 4 through June 16, 2016. Weekday train service will operate as follows:

    • Orange Line trains between Vienna and New Carrollton will operate every 18 minutes
    • Additional Orange Line trains will operate between Ballston and New Carrollton only every 6 minutes during AM/PM rush and every 10 minutes during midday and evening
    • Silver Line trains will operate every 18 minutes
    • At 10:00 p.m. all trains will operate every 20 minutes

    Orange and Silver line trains may be very crowded, especially during rush hour due to severe service reductions. Expect significantly longer wait times at the following stations:

    • Vienna
    • Dunn Loring
    • West Falls Church
    • Ballstone
    • East Falls Church
    • Wiehle-Reston East
    • Spring Hill
    • Greensboro
    • Tyson’s Center
    • Mclean

    Trip planner has been updated with Safetrack Surge #1 weekday schedules.

    **NOTE** Trains operating from Vienna, through Ballston, weekday mornings may be extremely crowded. Customers arriving Ballston should consider using the additional train service that originates at Ballston, and will board on the opposite platform from through-train service. This may lengthen your departure time, but give you the best opportunity for space and possibly a seat.

    Metro riders who have the ability to do so should consider alternate travel options and avoid traveling during rush hour if possible.

    Weekend train frequencies may change to coordinate with other planned track work on the Metrorail system.
