Re: WMATA (Federal Triangle Reopened, Judiciary Square Closed for Rest of Evening)

Posted by WMATAGMOAGH on Tue Jan 20 16:13:30 2009, in response to Re: WMATA (Federal Center SW Closed), posted by WMATAGMOAGH on Tue Jan 20 13:29:34 2009. edf40wrjww2msgDetail:detailStr fiogf49gjkf0d I got a press release from Metro 10 minutes ago saying that station has reopened. It was unexpectedly closed following the Inauguration ceremonies due to crowding. Additionally, Judiciary Square has been closed for security reasons since the Commander in Chief Inaugural Ball is taking place at the National Building Museum, just across the street from the station entrace. Here is that release: Federal Triangle Metrorail station reopens For immediate release: January 20, 2009 Federal Triangle reopens, Judiciary Square station to close at 4 p.m. The Federal Triangle Metrorail station on the Blue and Orange Line reopened around 4 p.m. while Judiciary Square on the Red Line is closed for the rest of the night. Federal Triangle station closed at 11:30 a.m. at the request of local police due to crowding on the National Mall. Judiciary Square is closed for inaugural ball-related security reasons. Metro also is sending extra buses to Federal Triangle Metrorail station to transport patrons using wheel chairs. There have been extremely crowded conditions throughout the rail system and especially at stations near the National Mall. People planning to take Metro are urged to not immediately enter stations after the inaugural parade. Metro also advises if crowds are extremely large at rail station entrances, walk to a nearby rail station or board a Metrobus. Police also may temporarily stop the flow of people into a station until crowds on platforms allow for safe passageway.
