Metro to provide free shuttle buses during rail, station maintenance

ARLINGTON, Va. (DC News Now) — Metro stations in Rosslyn and Arlington National Cemetery will be closed Sept. 27 and 28, according to the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA).

The disruptions will impact Blue, Orange, and Silver lines. WMATA added that the Rosslyn and Arlington Cemetery Stations will be closed for the weekend for maintenance.

However, riders can use free shuttle bus services during the disruptions.

“I know the shuttles that they provide, sometimes in place of the closed stations, are not very reliable and get full a lot,” said Metro rider Hannah Boehlert.

Free shuttle buses will replace Blue Line trains between the Foggy Bottom and Pentagon stops, as well as the Orange and Silver Line trains between the Foggy Bottom and Court House stops.

WMATA stated that there will be no Blue Line train service at the Pentagon, Pentagon City, and Crystal City stops, but Yellow Line services will be available.

Crews will be working to replace fasteners and anchors. They will also be conducting maintenance on the third rail and rail renewal to ensure reliability. 

“It’s a little bit of a hassle…especially for people like me who prefer to take the metro because I don’t want to sit in traffic,” said Metro Rider Domonique Archie.

For the next three weekends, crews will perform track work on the Orange and Silver lines, causing single-tracking.

Riders are urged to plan accordingly. More information on bus schedules and routes can be found here.
