What's Up With Metro: Red Line Single Tracks in 2 Work Zones

Red Line trains will single track in two work zones this weekend, continuing through closing on Sunday.
Trains will single track between Friendship Heights and Van Ness "to allow for track, fastener and insulator renewal," and between Takoma and Rhode Island Avenue "to allow for platform reconstruction and rail joint elimination for a smoother ride," according to Metro.
Trains between Shady Grove and Glenmont will operate every 24 minutes in each direction.
