DC Metro Plans to Rebuild 20 Stations, Major Closures Expected

Riders of DC's Metro system can expect to see significant station closures as repair work begins next year. The Blue and Yellow lines south of Reagan National Airport will likely be the first to see significant disruptions as six station platforms are to be rebuilt starting in May 2019.
