From Fairfax County Department of Transportation:Â
Beginning Thursday, Sept. 15, 2016, through Wednesday, Oct. 26, 2016, Metrorail’s Orange Line trains will continuously single track between Vienna and West Falls Church Metrorail Stations during weekdays and complete station shut-downs will affect travelers during weekends.
Residents, visitors and others who travel via Metrorail and on any of the major corridors within Fairfax County including I-66, I-495, Dulles Toll Road, and I-95, will be impacted by the track work. To continue to reduce the potential for gridlock, Fairfax County is urging commuters to telework and use flexible work schedules whenever possible, and encouraging the use of alternate ways to commute that do not involve driving alone.
Weekday Metrorail service will operate as follows during SafeTrack Surge #9:
- During rush hours, a shuttle train will operate between Vienna and West Falls Church every 24 minutes (regularly every 6 minutes). Transfer at the West Falls Church station to continue trip.
- Normal service levels at other Orange Line stations.
- After 10 p.m., trains will operate between Vienna and New Carrollton every 20 minutes.
On the weekends of Sept. 24-15 and Oct. 1-2:
- Vienna, Dunn Loring and West Falls Church stations will be closed.
On the weekends of Oct. 8-9 and Oct. 15-16:
- Vienna and Dunn Loring stations will be closed.
Trains to and from the Vienna Metrorail Station are likely to be extremely crowded, especially during rush-hour periods.Metro riders who have the ability to do so should consider alternate travel options and avoid traveling during rush hour if possible.

A local nonprofit civic group will host an event on Saturday, September 24 to show appreciation for local law enforcement and the entire community is invited. The Second Annual “We Love You Blue” community rally is hosted by the “We Love You Blue” organization to honor the Prince William County Police Department, Dumfries Police Department, U.S. Marshalls Office and Sheriff’s Department. The rally will take place at the VFW Post 1503 (14631 Minnieville Rd, Dale City, VA) from 11am to 1pm. No RSVP is required.
In addition to showing appreciation for law enforcement, the goal of the event is also to help young people build positive relationships with local police. The law enforcement offices will bring patrol cars, motorcycles, a crime prevention unit, a SWAT vehicle, and a command unit for children to explore and play in. Food will be provided and complimentary child identification cards will be made on site.
A bipartisan group of leaders will deliver short remarks at the rally, including Delegate Rich Anderson (VA-51), former Delegate Michael Futrell (VA-02), Delegate Scott Lingamfelter (VA-31), Potomac School Board Member Justin Wilk and Occoquan Board of County Supervisor Ruth Anderson. Prince William Police Chief Barry Barnard will also attend and speak.
The inaugural “We Love You Blue” rally took place last November at Heritage Baptist Church in Woodbridge. The idea of the rally came from Angela Beckles, founder of the “We Love You Blue” nonprofit group.
“Our local law enforcement do an outstanding job of keeping us safe, and that’s why so many of us love living in Prince William County,” Beckles. “There has been unrest between police and communities all across America. I’m sure it’s a tough time to be a police officer, so we want to show support and respect for the police.”
