WASHINGTON (DC News Now) — Metro announced that the Red Line is running with delays Wednesday morning after water intrusion has caused signal issues.
Metro noted that at the start of the service, trains will run every 6-12 minutes between Friendship Heights and Glenmont stations due to affected signals outside the Van Ness Metro Station.
As a result, some trains will offload at Dupont Circle to minimize train traffic.
On Wednesday morning, crews were on the scene working to resolve the issue.
“Attention Red Line customers. Your commute this morning will be severely impacted due to water intrusion affecting signals outside Van Ness. We apologize for this inconvience as our crews continue to address this matter. Please allow extra time for travel,” wrote WMATA in a post on X.
The delays come after the Red Line faced significant delays Tuesday afternoon, following a signal problem at the Friendship Heights Metro Station.
All customers are encouraged to check MetroPulse for real-time service and updates.
