24-Minute Wait For Metro Silver Line Trains In Reston

Trains on the Silver Line will only operate as far as Ballston due to extensive track work this weekend.

RESTON, VA -- Sure hope you don't have anywhere to go this weekend, because if you plan on taking Metro, you'll be waiting a while.

Silver Line trains will run only between Wiehle-Reston East and Ballston this weekend, and they'll only run every 24 minutes due to work on the Orange and Blue lines.

Much of the rest of the Metro system will share your pain. Orange and Blue line trains will also run every 24 minutes, and even the Red Line will experience 15-minute waits due to single-tracking between Silver Spring and Forest Glen for rail tie renewal and joint elimination.
