Orange Line Subway Service Interrupted This Weekend

 Construction of the new Silver Line subway line will disrupt Metro service between the East Falls Church and West Falls Church Metrorail stations this  weekend beginning tonight. The stations will be open.

To help riders get through the work zone, Metro will operate free shuttle buses between the East Falls Church and West Falls Church stations. Customers should add an extra 30 minutes into their travel plans if they need to pass through the work zone.

Starting at 10pm tonight  until midnight Sunday, March 13, and again the following weekend, the Orange Line will be split in two sections, the first running from Vienna/Fairfax-GMU to West Falls Church-VT/UVA Metrorail stations, and the second between the New Carrollton and East Falls Church Metrorail stations. The East Falls Church and West Falls Church-VT/UVA Metrorail stations will remain open.
