Metro has set a date for the months-long closing of the Yellow Line crossing over the Potomac River and of a service shutdown south of Reagan National Airport.
In , Metro said the Yellow Line bridge over the river would be closed Sept. 10 for seven to eight months. They鈥檒l also repair the steel-lined tunnels between the Pentagon and L鈥橢nfant Plaza stations.
The long-delayed Potomac Yard station will also begin construction Sept. 10, and that will require a six-week shutdown of rail service south of the National Airport station to build new tracks.
鈥淓xact service plans will be released later this year as construction plans are finalized,鈥� Metro said.
Other projects coming up include drainage work at the Medical Center, Wheaton, Metro Center, Federal Triangle and L鈥橢nfant Plaza stations; leak-mitigation work between Silver Spring and Forest Glen, and between Tenleytown and Friendship Heights; and a ventilation project between Cleveland Park and Woodley Park.
They鈥檒l all require weekend shutdowns and single-tracking, Metro said.
