WASHINGTON — Metro track work disrupts all lines this Super Bowl weekend, and some riders may need to cross their fingers that the game does not go to overtime, given the changes to Metro’s Sunday hours that began last year.
Track work
All lines except the Red Line are scheduled only every 24 minutes each.
The Red Line is scheduled to have service every 15 minutes, plus additional trains between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. between Farragut North and Silver Spring.
The Blue, Orange and Silver lines are each scheduled to run their full lengths, but only run every 24 minutes each, with single-tracking between Federal Center and Eastern Market.
The Green and Yellow lines are also scheduled to run their full lengths, but only every 24 minutes each, with single-tracking between Mt. Vernon Square and U Street.
Hours
Remember: Metro only operates from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Sundays under the hours that took effect in June.
The Super Bowl tends to end around 10:15 p.m., give or take 30 minutes or so.
Depending on the station and direction of travel, exact last train times vary. The earliest a last train leaves is 10:10 p.m. — that’s Wiehle-Reston East heading toward D.C. and Largo.
For riders closer to the end of the line, last trains can leave later than 11:30 p.m.
For example, the last train at Bethesda heading to Shady Grove is scheduled to leave at 11:26 p.m., but the last train at Bethesda toward Glenmont leaves at 10:44 p.m.

Under the hours that began in June, the rail system is open 5 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 5 a.m. to 1 a.m. Friday, 7 a.m. to 1 a.m. Saturday and 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Sundays.
