No Metro Work Scheduled for Cherry Blossom Peak Weekend

There will be no scheduled weekend track work on the Metro this weekend, a courtesy to visitors attending the annual Cherry Blossom Festival during what could be the peak bloom this weekend.

Metro is halting weekend track work activities through April 14 with the exception of work taking place after 10 p.m. Sundays, when ridership is expected to be light.

Metro will open early Sunday at 5 a.m. to accommodate participants in the Credit Union Cherry Blossom 10-Mile Run. Runners should travel to the following stations:

• Smithsonian (Blue/Orange lines) - 0.25 miles from start
• L'Enfant Plaza (Green/Yellow/Blue/Orange lines) - 0.8 miles from start
• Metro Center (Red/Blue/Orange lines) - 0.9 miles from start
• Archives (Green/Yellow lines) - 0.9 miles from start

The Vienna Metro Station will likely be crowded Sunday morning, since it's the last point for the Orange Line in Virginia — get there early if you're headed to the race.
