From METRO:

Customers can expect lengthy delays of up to 40 minutes this weekend (April 23-25) as old track components are replaced on the Red, Blue and Orange lines, causing inbound and outbound trains to take turns sharing one track on portions of the rail system.

Riders planning to take the Red, Blue and Orange lines to area sports events and activities this weekend should add up to 40 minutes to their travel times. The Washington Nationals play at Nationals Park on April 23, 24, and 25, the Washington Capitals play at the Verizon Center on April 23, and there is an Earth Day Climate Rally on the National Mall on April 25.
