Metro is planning to begin major trackwork again this weekend, after a brief holiday hiatus, albeit without any station shutdowns.
Still, four of the five Metrorail lines will face delays starting at 10 p.m. Friday and running through Sunday. Welcome to 2012, another year of delays in the name of fixing the system. Here’s what to expect:
- Red Line: Trains will share a single track in two spots, Dupont Circle to Friendship Heights and Takoma to Forest Glen. Riders should expect 30-minute waits between trains but the transit agency plans extra trains from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. from Fort Totten to Farragut North.
- Blue/Orange lines: Trains will share a single track between Smithsonian and Eastern Market.
- Green Line: Trains will share a single track in two spots, between Georgia Ave-Petworth and Fort Totten and between Naylor Road and Branch Ave.
