Union Station Metro Station to Close Tomorrow

Metro riders looking to take a train to or through Union Station tomorrow will have to use a bus instead.

Free shuttle buses will replace trains between the NoMa-Gallaudet University and Farragut North Metro stations from 12:01 a.m. Saturday to 3 a.m. Sunday as part of rebuilding work along the Red Line, according to Metro. The Union Station Metro station, along with Judiciary Square Metro station and the upper levels of the Metro Center and Gallery Place Metro stations, won’t open during the repairs Saturday.

Trains will run every 10 minutes between the NoMa-Gallaudet University and Glenmont Metro stations, as well as between the Farragut North and Shady Grove Metro stations.

Metro is advising passengers to add up to 25 minutes in travel time.

Normal weekend service for the Red Line is expected to return Sunday.
