Hail an Uber, cab, bus or walk may be a better option.

Trains on Metro’s Red Line are now sharing a track. Trains are single-tracking between Grosvenor and Friendship Heights stations. There is a problem with the track at the Medical Center stop.

Sherri Ly, a Metro spokeswoman, said there is an arcing insulator at the Woodley Park stop. Trains are running on two tracks in that part of the line although they had been single-tracking earlier in the morning. And there is a separate problem involving an insulator and power cable at the medical Center stop.

Metro said trains are no longer sharing a track on the Red Line but delays of up to 30 minutes remain for riders and conditions are still very crowded after an earlier track problem at the Woodley Park stop.

Riders on Metro’s Red Line should expect delays of up to 30 minutes and crowding, Metro said.

Bottom line – it is a mess.

Trains are sharing a track in two parts of Metro’s Red Line. There is single-tracking between the Dupont Circle and Van Ness stops due to a track problem at the Woodley Park station. And trains are sharing a track between Grosvenor and Friendship Heights.
