Metro has a present for you Yellow and Blue Line riders this holiday weekend. And no, you can’t re-gift it.
According to this WMATA press release, the track between Reagan National and Braddock Road will be closed for complete rehabilitation over the weekend. The stations, however, will remain open.
Shuttles will be transporting riders between stations every five minutes, but WMATA is warning riders to add an additional 30 minutes to their trip on the rails. The closing begins Friday at 9 p.m., with the expected re-opening of the line on Tuesday at 4 a.m.

Good thing nobody visits this area on… say a holiday weekend.
What were they thinking? Labor day? I guess they think people won’t wait on a shuttle and prefer to pay a cab instead. I guess that helps the local economy.
This is WMATA. Logic evades them.
