Metro is preparing for large crowds and traffic detours during Pope Francis'
three-day visit to Washington, D.C. Tuesday, September 22 through Thursday,
September 24. Specific details on the visit are still in the planning
stages, but Metro wants every passenger to start getting ready now with
these key tips:

 

.         On Metrorail, expect station & service adjustments. Some station
entrances may be temporarily closed based on security needs. Trains and
stations near Papal events may experience heavy crowds.

.         Expect Metrobus detours. Many Metrobus routes near Papal events
and the parade route will be detoured or shortened.
