I'm curious how shuttle buses will work for the shutdown of the orange and silver lines in Virginia. For us silver folks, commuter buses from some stations directly into DC? Or maybe to a convenient orange line station past the closure?

In the past, they've just run the shuttle busses between Ballston and McLean when they've had to close East Falls Church.

Metro has released its detailed travel alternatives for the 4 phases of this summer's rail shutdowns/single tracking affecting the Orange, Silver, and Green lines. https://www.wmata.com/about/news/2023-M ... atives.cfm

Metro has completed the Orange-line part of this summer's trackwork. That work included fiber optical cable installation and approx. 25 miles of new rails. https://www.wmata.com/about/news/Two-Or ... uction.cfm. The Green line work begins this week, July 22.
