Washington Metro to shut down some stations for 16 days

Published May 12, 2016 11:11pm ET



Washington Metro officials announced a 16-day shutdown of portions of the Blue, Orange and Silver lines in response to the Federal Transit Administration’s call for immediate repairs, according to a new report.

This means the Metro will now shift around its SafeTrack repair plan schedule, which is set to begin in June, responding to the FTA telling Metro on Wednesday it would have to make immediate changes to certain lines.
