Green Line Resumes Normal Service Ahead of Schedule

efe

METRORail's Green Line has returned to normal service ahead of schedule thanks to the hard work of crews. As of start of service, Thursday, Nov. 17, the Green Line is open for normal operations.

The closures were necessary to implement the signal improvement work after axle counter malfunctions slowed METRORail service and increased travel time for drivers at rail crossings. Further work on the signals will continue next week.
