Several Metro stations on the Green Line are closed for weeks for track work.

All stations north of Fort Totten in Prince George's County, Maryland, will be closed until Tuesday, Sept. 5. including:

  • West Hyattsville
  • Hyattsville Crossing
  • College Park-U of Md
  • Greenbelt

Metro said crews are installing fiber-optic cables, which will help with additional security cameras in the stations and an improved radio system. The cables will go directly in between both tracks, which is why the stations have to close for the installation, Metro said.

Shuttles will be available for commuters while four Green Line Metro stations are closed for track work in Prince George's County, Maryland. News4's Joseph Olmo reports.

How to get around the Green Line closures

Metro said it will run free bus shuttles at the four stations to help riders over the next month-and-a-half.
