Metro: Track Work Still on Spring Break

No work is scheduled for Metrorail tracks and stations this weekend, and Metrorail will open at 5 a.m. on Sunday for the Credit Union Cherry Blossom 10-Mile Run.

Metro takes a break from its rigorous weekend track work schedule during the cherry blossom season, according to a Metro news statement.

This year, the break occurs on four consecutive weekends. The remaining two weekends are Saturday and Sunday, and April 13–14.

The only planned weekend work during that time will take place late Sunday evenings, when ridership is light, according to Metro.
