Advisory: Takoma station on Red Line to close tonight and Sunday

Metro announced this morning that the Takoma station on the Red Line will close early again (at 10 p.m.) tonight and on Sunday so that the NTSB can continue its investigation into the fatal June 22 crash.

To minimize the long delays already expected for July Fourth, Metro said the Takoma station will not close on the night of July Fourth.

But officials warn that riders should plan on waiting as long as an hour and a half to get into a metro station after fireworks on the National Mall end tomorrow night.
