Here is what you need to know:
There will be service adjustments on all three lines, but Orange and Silver Line riders will see some big changes.
- There will be no Orange Line trains in service from 7 a.m. on Saturday through closing on Monday. Silver Line service will operate between Wiehle-Reston East and New Carrollton.
- Three stations will be closed this weekend: Vienna, Dunn Loring and West Falls Church.
- Riders traveling to/from Orange Line stations must board a Silver Line train to make their trip.
- Riders traveling to/from Blue/Silver stations between Largo Town Center and Benning Road must use only Blue Line trains.
- Red Line trains will operate every 8-16 minutes.
- Yellow and Green line trains operate every 12-15 minutes.
- Silver and Blue Line trains operate every 20 minutes.
On Memorial Day, Monday, May 30, Metrorail will open at 7 a.m. and close at midnight. Trains will operate on a Sunday schedule. Off-peak fares will be in effect all day, and parking will be free at all Metrorail parking facilities.
