Metro will shut down a four-decade-old tunnel and the Yellow Line bridge spanning the Potomac River for about eight months this fall to repair and rebuild the infrastructure.
Metro officials have made rehabilitating a steel-lined tunnel between L’Enfant Plaza and the Potomac River bridge Metro’s top structural priority. At the same time, crews will repair and restore the bridge. Neither have undergone major work since they were built more than 40 years ago, Metro said.“While service outages can be disruptive, we know they are foundational for maintaining safe and reliable service,” Metro General Manager Paul J. Wiedefeld said in a statement.
Metro will announce specific rail service changes later this year as construction plans are finalized, Metro officials said.During the disruption, the Blue Line will continue to link the District and Arlington, as well as Reagan National Airport and stations south of the Pentagon.Metro also will continue its platform reconstruction project, a major part of the agency’s 10-year, $15.5 billion Capital Improvement Program.
