Prepare for December Metro Closures
-
Starting this winter, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) will undertake an important construction project to perform maintenance on stations and tracks in Washington, DC. The project will begin on December 20, 2024, and is expected to be completed by December 31, 2024. During the construction period, several stations in Washington, DC that serve the Orange, Silver, and Blue Lines will be temporarily closed. While much of the construction will occur in Washington, DC, commuters in Arlington will also be affected, particularly those commuting into the district and those who change trains in Rosslyn. The goal of this project includes performing routine maintenance, such as replacing grout pads, updating fasteners and studs, and upgrading platform edge lighting. While the construction is underway, WMATA will offer commuters a complimentary shuttle service to connect the affected stations. Arlington Transportation Partners (ATP) is also ready to assist you and your organization with alternate routes and informative resources during this time.
