WASHINGTON (AP) — Metro is rerouting all blue line trains over the yellow line bridge between Virginia and Washington during emergency repairs outside the Pentagon station.
Metro said the change on Friday morning was aimed at minimizing delays during the repairs. Otherwise, Metro says blue, yellow and green line trains would have seen 25 minute delays with blue line trains using only one track.
No trains are operating between the Pentagon and Arlington Cemetery stations, but they’re operating every 12 minutes between Arlington Cemetery and Largo Town Center.
Blue line trains will be designated as yellow line trains between Franconia and Mount Vernon Square. Riders traveling from Virginia to any blue line station in Washington or Maryland are advised to transfer at L’Enfant Plaza.
