Potomac Avenue, Stadium-Armory Metro Stations to Close This Weekend

Metro riders won’t be able to access two Capitol Hill-area Metro stations this weekend.

The Potomac Avenue and Stadium-Armory Metro stations are set to close to passengers on Saturday and Sunday as part of rebuilding work on the Blue, Orange and Silver lines, Metro announced today.

Free shuttle buses will replace trains between the Eastern Market and Benning Road Metro stations on the Blue and Silver lines. On the Orange Line, the buses will operate between the Eastern Market and New Carrollton Metro stations.

Buses will take about 10 minutes to travel between each of the closed stations, according to Metro.

Normal service on the Blue, Orange and Silver lines is expected to return Monday.
