Metro’s Red Line trains won’t run between North Bethesda and Friendship Heights for two months this summer to accommodate construction related to the Purple Line.

Between July 6 and Sept. 7, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority will operate free shuttle buses for passengers at its Friendship Heights, Bethesda, Medical Center, Grosvenor-Strathmore and North Bethesda stations.

The shuttle bus will take about 48 minutes to service the five stops.
