Another sets of closures are happening on the metro line from DCA.  The bad news for most tourists is that the section going into DC from the airport is closing down for a week.  While the trains themselves are shut down, shuttle busses are running to replace those segments.
Arlington is set to lose one of its Metro stops on the Blue and Yellow lines for seven days as part of another “SafeTrack surge,†which is set to start tomorrow.
“Surge 4†track repair work is slated to begin Tuesday and will keep the station closed through the following Monday.

Arlington and airport officials are encouraging travelers to avoid driving near the three stations and use buses and other modes of transportation to get around.
