Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) recently announced this summer’s major construction project. Dunn Loring Metro Station will be closed from Saturday, June 3 through Sunday, July 16.
Mosaic Green Commute wants to ensure that our commuters have everything they need to limit impacts or delays to their commute due to the project.
What’s Being Upgraded?
WMATA is replacing the original steel rail between East Falls Church Metro Station and Vienna Metro Station as well as installing new technology to increase reliability and prevent extended downtime in the future.
