WASHINGTON — (WMAL) If you were hoping to get on a blue line train today between Franconia-Springfield and Van Dorn streets, you’re out of luck.

The stations are closed this weekend and every weekend through mid September as part of Safetrack.

During the week, trains will single track in those areas…running every 12-24 minutes. Shuttle buses will be available but you’re being strongly urged to carpool, use the Fairfax connector, or telework during this time.

There will also be extra metro buses running from the Franconia-Springfield station to the Pentagon every 6 minutes.
