Well, there was apparently a huge delay on the Orange Line this morning that involved Foggy Bottom, but it’s blown over now. Apparently Foggy Bottom to Clarendon is down for single track maintenance in the evenings this week, as is Foggy Bottom to Arlington Cemetery, so expect slow evening trains.
Speaking of Orange and Blue line ridiculousness, though, I hope those of you who live out in Arlington weren’t planning to come into the city for President’s Day Weekend…because you can’t take the Metro. WMATA says:
Throughout the Presidents Day Holiday weekend, the Rosslyn Metrorail station on the Blue and Orange lines will be closed and the Arlington Cemetery Metrorail station on the Blue Line (station closes at 7 p.m. nightly during the winter months) will also be closed from 10 p.m., Friday, Feb. 12 to closing, Monday, Feb. 15, while Metro undertakes a major track rehabilitation project. Normal service will resume on Tuesday, Feb. 16, at 5 a.m.
If you head to the link, you can read all the nitty-gritty details. They will be providing shuttle services, and you can always take the bus. Still, this major track renovation will occur at the same time as a simulated explosion! between the Foggy Bottom and Rosslyn stations on the 13th. So get pumped, Metro riders — WMATA wants to make your holiday weekend explosively difficult to navigate.
