https://wtop.com/tracking-metro-24-7/2023/12/metros-red-line-construction-ends-early-with-normal-service-resuming-saturday/

Red Line construction on Metro has wrapped up one day ahead of schedule, meaning normal service will resume at 7 a.m. on Saturday.

Originally, the construction that began on Dec. 18 was slated to continue through the day on Saturday.

Metro said in a news release that it was also under budget on the project by $250,000.

There will not be any scheduled track maintenance this New Year’s Eve weekend, according to Metro. Additionally, the trains will be open until 2 a.m. on Monday for New Year’s Eve revelers.

the workers must have been busy thoughout the holiday season. Full station closures can be painful but short. Often that's better than long term single tracking or unexpected problems.
