Metro Closes Five Red Line Stations for Summer Construction

MCDOT Jul 6, 2026
Metro closed five Red Line stations — Friendship Heights, Bethesda, Medical Center, Grosvenor-Strathmore, and North Bethesda — from July 6 through September 6, 2026, for construction and maintenance work. Projects include a new mezzanine at Bethesda station to connect Metro Rail with the Purple Line Light Rail, and state-of-good-repair maintenance at Medical Center and Grosvenor-Strathmore stations. Metro is also operating free shuttle buses between North Bethesda and Friendship Heights stations, with some express service and local service along Route 355.
