Multiple Metro stations on the Green Line will close beginning Saturday, July 22 until September 4.
The WMATA announced that stations north of Fort Totten—including West Hyattsville, Hyattsville Crossing, College Park-U of Md, and Greenbelt—will be closed as track work gets underway. Construction crews will be installing fiber-optic cables, with their higher capacity and bandwidth expected to improve the reliability of the Metro’s radio system and the quality of its “state-of-the-art” security cameras.
For the first weekend of the track work (July 22 – 23), the Green Line will also be unavailable at Fort Totten Station, though the Red Line will still be accessible.
A free shuttle service will be provided at all of the affected Metro stations while the work is underway. See the shuttles schedules below, organized by station and date:
