Metro is welding new pieces of track between the Vienna/Fairfax and West Falls Church Orange Line stations, and trains will be forced to share one track for the duration of the weekend. Customers utilizing the Orange Line in general, and the sections between the affected stations specifically, are advised to add at least 30 minutes to their anticipated travel times.
In an effort to make Orange line travel as efficent as possible, every other Orange Line train traveling in the direction of Vienna/Fairfax will treat West Falls Church as the end of the line, as opposed to Vienna, and will then return to New Carrollton station to facilitate the movement of passengers. Those customers riding Orange Line trains should pay close attention to each train's destination, shown on the green electric signs on the front and side of each car, to ensure their train is heading the full distance required.
