The commute for users of Metro, which has been wrought with systemwide shutdowns, just got a little more complicated this weekend.
The Wiehle-Reston East Metro station will be closed this weekend due to construction on the Silver Line expansion.
Free shuttle buses will replace trains between the Wiehle-Reston East and Spring Hill stations due to signal installation for phase two of the extension project.
Regular weekend service will still run between the Spring Hill and Largo Town Center stations.
Service is expected to return to normal on Monday.
🚨 Due to Silver Line Phase II signal installation, Wiehle Reston East Metrorail Station will be closed June 8-9. Shuttle buses replacing trains will pick-up and drop-off at the Reston Station Blvd connecting travelers to rail service. Read more here: https://t.co/6flZHdEvrD. pic.twitter.com/oUDsbS5fhg
