Metro's Summer Shutdown: What You Need to Know About Blue, Yellow Line Closures in Northern Virginia

You've been hearing about it for months, but now it's here: Every Metro station south of National Airport on the Blue and Yellow line is shut down for the entire summer.

The widespread closures will affect thousands of commuters, who now need to decide whether to try out Metro's shuttle buses, hit the road, experiment with biking or taking the VRE, or appeal to their managers for work-from-home options.

Six stations are closed: Braddock Road, King Street, Eisenhower Avenue, Huntington, Van Dorn Street and Franconia-Springfield.
