Single-Tracking, Metro Stations Closed: WMATA Weekend Schedule

WASHINGTON, DC — There are plenty of things to do and see in the D.C. area this weekend. Some attractions you'll find include: the Independence Day Celebration, All American Bar Crawl, Taste of H Street, and Del Ray Pizzeria Crab Feast.

If you're thinking of taking the Metro on Saturday, June 29 or Sunday, June 30, you should plan accordingly: six Blue and Yellow Line train stations south of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport will be closed. The station closures, which will be in effect until Sept. 8, are part of a larger improvement project by WMATA.
