Prepare for the Crystal City Metro Construction This February: Metro riders who travel through Crystal City should plan ahead for February. Beginning the weekend of February 14, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) will be implementing adjustments to regular Metrorail service to support the construction of a second entrance at the Crystal City metro station. The new entrance is expected to improve station accessibility, improve ease of transfers, and reduce the amount of passenger traffic throughout the station. You can view Metro’s plans for the entrance, in collaboration with Arlington County, in this video. While this project is expected to continue through the spring of 2027, Metrorail service is projected to only be impacted during certain weekends between mid-February and June of this year.
