PRTC will implement some temporary changes for the next phases of Metro SafeTrack work to impact Virginia commuters.
Potomac Mills mall announced it would add some additional temporary commuter parking during the work. We asked Potomac Mills how many more spaces drivers could expect, but they didn’t respond. A PRTC spokeswoman also didn’t have the information.
From a PRTC email:
The third and fourth phases of WMATA’s SafeTrack work are scheduled to shut down a segment of the Blue and Yellow lines in Arlington and Alexandria. Visit Metro’s SafeTrack webpage for details about train frequency and shuttle buses.
–From July 5 through July 11, there will be no rail service between Braddock Road and National Airport.
–From July 12 through July 18, there will be no rail service between National Airport and Pentagon City.
PRTC will implement a few minor changes (detailed below) to help PRTC and Metro passengers.
Also to assist during SafeTrack, Potomac Mills Mall will temporarily increase the number of spaces set aside for commuter parking starting on June 29.
–Several evening trips on the Prince William Metro Direct route will leave later than scheduled, enabling more passengers to make connections. These accommodations will be in place only during these phases of SafeTrack.
The 7:45 p.m. weekday trip will depart the Franconia-Springfield Metro Station at 7:55 p.m.
The 10:40 p.m. weekday trip – the last trip of the night – will depart the Metro station at 10:55 p.m.
The 10:35 p.m. Saturday trip – the last trip of the night – will depart the Metro station at 10:50 p.m.
–Eastern Prince William County residents may want to ride one of the many PRTC OmniRide buses to the Pentagon, Crystal City orRosslyn-Ballston and transfer to Metrobus, Arlington Transit bus or Alexandria DASH bus.
–Those who travel mid-day should consider PRTC’s Dale City – Washington OmniRide MX-1 trip, which leaves PRTC at 11:05 a.m. and picks up passengers at the Route 123/ I-95 Commuter Lot before traveling straight to multiple destinations in downtown D.C.
