Metro planning officials on Thursday outlined upcoming weekend and weekday station closures. All closures are planned, but changes are still possible.
Sept. 27: Track work is scheduled to begin on the Orange Line, forcing trains to run on a single track between East Falls Church and West Falls Church. The slowdowns will stretch from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on weekdays for “probably a couple weeks.”

Nov. 5 to 7: Weekend closures on the Orange and Blue lines. Orange Line station closures from Stadium-Armory to New Carrollton. Blue Line station closures from Stadium-Armory to Largo Town Center.
Nov. 19 to 21: More Orange Line station closures, again between Stadium-Armory and New Carrollton.
Jan. 14 to 17 (MLK weekend): Track and switch replacement work is expected to close Farragut West, Foggy Bottom, Rosslyn, Courthouse and Arlington Cemetery stations on the Blue and Orange Lines.
