🚨 REMINDER 🚨
The Metro Red Line will be closed between North Bethesda and Friendship Heights from Monday, July 6 through Sunday, Sept. 6.
🚇 During this time, Metro trains will NOT operate in this section — but free shuttle service will be available to keep riders moving.
🔧 This summer closure allows Metro crews to complete major improvement projects, including:
• Building a new mezzanine at Bethesda Station to connect Metro Rail with the Purple Line
• Performing important state‑of‑good‑repair maintenance at Medical Center and Grosvenor‑Strathmore to prevent future shutdowns
🚍 MCDOT is offering several travel alternatives to help you get where you need to go all summer long.
📅 Plan ahead, stay informed, and share this update to help others prepare.
