Drivers see heavy delays in Virginia during Metro repairs
Drivers in Northern Virginia experienced significant delays Tuesday morning – the second day that Metro repairs on the Orange and Silver lines significantly reduced train service. Trains are sharing a single track between East Falls Church and Ballston leading many commuters to hit the road and drive instead of taking Metro, adding to the region’s normally congested highways.
