Weekend Closures for Some Orange Line Stations

Metro mapMETRO WILL CLOSE the Cheverly, Landover and New Carrollton Metrorail stations in Maryland over the upcoming holiday weekend for "a major track rehabilitation project," the transit agency announced today.

From a Metro statement:

Metro will replace the rail switch outside the Cheverly Metrorail station on the Orange Line from 10 p.m., Friday, August 31 to 11:59 p.m., Monday, September 3 (Labor Day). A rail switch or "interlocking" is an intersection in the track, where trains "switch" from one track to another. This work must be done to ensure service quality and safe operation through the Cheverly Metrorail station.
Shuttle buses will run every eight to 10 minutes from the Deanwood station, where the Orange Line will terminate, to New Carrollton, with stops at Cheverly and Landover, Metro says.

Metro service will run on its regular weekend schedule on Saturday and Sunday, and on a Sunday schedule for Monday's Labor Day holiday.
