BETHESDA, MD — Plan on taking the Yellow Line this weekend? Allow for extra travel time — or rethink how you're getting to your destination altogether.

There will be no Yellow Line service Saturday and Saturday due to a bridge inspection and switch replacement south of King Street in Old Town Alexandria. Shuttle buses will be provided.

Customers traveling between Virginia and downtown D.C. should take the Blue Line instead.
