It’s going to take Metro riders who use the Red Line a little longer to get around part of the D.C. area this holiday weekend.

Metro said trains will be running less frequently this weekend and on Monday, while a leak is repaired.

Trains will operate every 10 minutes from Shady Grove to Silver Spring, and every 20 minutes from Silver Spring to Glenmont.

For riders heading north of Silver Spring, Metro suggested boarding a Glenmont-bound train or transferring at Silver Spring.
