5 Metro Orange Line Stations Reopen After Summer Closure
5 Metro stations alongside the Orange Line in Northern Virginia reopened Tuesday after a monthslong closure to enhance platforms.
The New Carrollton, Landover and Cheverly stations in Maryland plus Deanwood and Minnesota Avenue in Northeast D.C. are serving riders once more.
Metro reconstructed platform edges to make them safer and longer-lasting.
Different enhancements embrace brighter lights, new LED indicators that show practice wait occasions and slip-resistant tiles.
The stations have been closed from Memorial Day by way of Labor Day 2022 for Metro’s Platform Enchancment Challenge. Metro has been rebuilding platforms at outside stations which have deteriorated as a consequence of publicity to climate parts, the transit company stated.
