Major track work on Metro is slated to begin again Monday, April 16, after a brief National Cherry Blossom Festival-induced hiatus. Riders can expect regular track shutdowns and delays for much of the remainder of the year, according to a new schedule released by the transit agency. And the Red Line will be especially hard hit. Rail service will be shut down along segments of that line for eight weekends during the summer. And then it will be shut down through much of the downtown core — from Dupont Circle to New York Avenue — on the weekend after Labor Day.
