Metro has announced that the Yellow Line will reopen on Sunday, May 7, 2023 at 7 a.m. The reopening will mark the completion of extensive rehabilitation work on the Yellow Line tunnel and bridge between Pentagon and L’Enfant Plaza stations.
According to Metro, after nearly eight months of construction for safety critical repairs, customers will once again have a reliable and convenient connection across the Potomac River between Virginia and DC, instead of only using the Blue Line. Trains will run every 8 minutes weekdays and every 12 minutes after 9:30 p.m. and on weekends between Huntington and Mt Vernon Square. Blue+ service that has been operating between Huntington and New Carrollton will be discontinued once the Yellow Line reopens.
I want to thank our customers for their patience while we completed this critical work to ensure safe, reliable service for decades to come. I’m also very proud and thankful to the dedicated women and men who worked to deliver this complex project on schedule and on budget. – Randy Clarke, General Manager and Chief Executive Officer
