The May 16 through June 15 closure of Metro stations in D.C. and Maryland will reduce Silver Line service in Northern Virginia.
MCLEAN, VA -- The May 16 through June 15 shutdown of Orange Line stations east of Stadium-Armory Station will cut Northern Virginia rush hour Silver Line service in half, Metro said Friday.
As part of the second-to-last Safetrack surge, rush hour service is cut in half west of East Falls Church Station. Trains will run every 12 minutes between Wiehle-Reston East and Stadium-Armory. Rush hour Orange Line service will be every 6 to 8 minutes between Vienna and Largo Town Center. Blue Line service will run as usual.
