It's Not Called SafeTrack, But It's Back. Red Line Closure Ahead


Outdoor Metro rail station with a train running through the station. Beginning Saturday, November 25 through Sunday, December 10, Metro will close the Red Line between the Silver Spring and Fort Totten stations. The Tacoma Park station, including all of its parking facilities, will be closed during this time.. This closure will allow Metro to completely replace a "mainline interlocking," where trains cross from one track to another. Limited free shuttle buses will be available between the Silver Spring and Fort Totten stations.

On the weekend of December 2-3, the work will be extended to the Glenmont station. The Glenmont, Wheaton, Forest Glen, and Silver Spring stations will be closed during this weekend.
