Braddock Road, Airport Metro Stations Closed Nov. 18-20 for Track Work

Metro will offer special express bus service between Metro Center and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport throughout the weekend of Nov. 18-20 for customers traveling during construction on the blue and yellow lines.

Beginning at 10 p.m. Friday, Nov. 18, and continuing through system closing on Sunday, Nov. 20, buses will replace Metrorail trains on the blue and yellow lines between King Street and Pentagon City stations. Three stations -- Crystal City, National Airport and Braddock Road -- will be closed during this time.

Metro will operate four shuttle bus routes:

Downtown Express: Non-stop service between Metro Center (12th & G streets) and Reagan National Airport
Airport Route 1: King Street - Reagan National Airport
Airport Route 2: Pentagon City - Crystal City - Reagan National Airport
Local Route: Pentagon City - Crystal City - Braddock Road - King Street (The local route will not stop at the airport.)
At National Airport, customers should board shuttle buses outside Door 1 (Terminal B) on the arrivals roadway. Door 1 is located just outside the Alaska Airlines ticket counter location.

Customers traveling through the affected portion of the blue and yellow lines should allow about 30 minutes of additional travel time, according to Metro.

Metrorail service at the airport will operate normally with no scheduled track work throughout Thanksgiving week, beginning Monday, Nov. 21, and continuing through Sunday, Nov. 27.
