Metro plans to shut down five stations on the eastern end of the Red Line over Labor Day weekend, as about 500 workers are scheduled to execute the “largest track maintenance rehabilitation project” in the agency’s history.

Spokesman Steven Taubenkibel said stations on the northeast tip of the Red Line, from Glenmont to Takoma, would be closed beginning 10 p.m. Friday. All stations will reopen for normal service at 5 a.m. Tuesday.
