They had been closed as part of a construction project that involved building new tracks for the new Potomac Yard Station, and repairing the Yellow Line tunnel and bridge.

Despite the reopening, Yellow Line service remains suspended until May 2023.

In the meantime, Metro officials say Yellow Line stations will be served by the Blue or Green lines.

In addition, Metro will offer free shuttle service during the weekday rush hour for passengers crossing to and from Virginia and D.C.
