Part Of Red Line To Be Shut Down For A Month And A Half

WASHINGTON, DC -- SafeTrack may be long over with, but the line shutdowns are not. The Red Line will be completely shut down between the NoMa-Gallaudet and Fort Totten stations for a month and a half starting later this month.

Calling it a "major improvement project," Metro will completely close the Brookland-CUA and Rhode Island Avenue stations from July 21 through Sept. 3, meaning anyone who needs to cross those stations will need to take buses to get between Fort Totten and NoMa. Or, you can take the Green Line from Fort Totten to Gallery Place, and vice versa.

"Plan ahead by knowing your options & alternatives," WMATA said in a tweet.
