The six Blue and Yellow Line Metrorail stations south of the Reagan National Airport station will be closed an extra two weeks, now reopening Nov. 6 instead of Oct. 23, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority announced Friday.
The six affected stations in Virginia are the Braddock Road, King St-Old Town, Eisenhower Ave, Huntington, Van Dorn St and Franconia-Springfield stations. The new delays were caused by construction issues for the Potomac Yard station.
The station closures started three weeks ago along with a “complex process to ensure proper signal integration, build and connect new tracks to the future Potomac Yard Station, and complete all safety critical work,” WMATA said.
