    System to shut downfour stations over theMemorial Day weekend

    The transit authority plans to shut

    four Metrorail stations along the

    Blue and Orange lines for the entire

    Memorial Day weekend, even asthousands of visitors head for events

    in the nations capital.

    The closings will include the

    station adjacent to RFK Stadium,

    site of Stars & Stripes & Spokes,

    a four-day festival of motorcycle

    enthusiasts.

    The Stadium-Armory station

    will be shut Friday night through

    the night of May 30, along with the

    Capitol South, Eastern Market and

    Potomac Avenue stations. There

    will be no service on the Blue and

    Orange lines between Federal Cen-

    ter SW and Minnesota Avenue and

    Benning Road.

    Jim Hughes, Metros planning

    director for such maintenance activ-

    ities, said Friday that the RFK festi-

    val is a new factor with an unknown

    impact on transit and traffic.

    But he was confident in the abili-

    ty of the free shuttle bus system that

    Metro sets up to bridge interruptions

    in service on long weekends.

    Rail service on the western side of

    the disruption, the Mall side, will be

    as it normally is on weekends.

    Trains on the eastern side of the

    lines are scheduled to run 25 min-

    utes apart.

    The centerpiece of th

    planned Memorial Day w

    work is the replacement

    track switches at the Easter

    ket Station.

    Such projects are so co

    that they require three days

    tinuous work to complete.

    The logistics of creatin

    work space, setting up thlines to operate in separa

    tions and providing shuttl

    to bridge the gaps result in t

    ing of more than one statio

    When the transit aut

    schedules such a big shutd

    also crams in as much othe

    as time and space allow.

    So crews will be replac

    track fasteners, making rep

    the aerial structure outside

    dium-Armory Station and

    25 escalators and eight el

    in the work zone. ROBERT T

    (THE WASHINGTON POST)

    The Stadium-Armory station is one of four Blue and Orange line Metrorail stations that will be closed Friday through Ma

    KEVINCLARK/TWP

    Metro will operate free shuttle

    buses to bridge the gaps be-

    tween the stations in the workzone. The shuttles will be sched-

    uled to meet each arriving train.

    Riders planning on using the

    shuttle buses from end to end

    should add about 40 minutes to

    their schedules, Metro says. (AP)

    Organizers of Washingtons

    Work event say 11,000 comm

    took to the streets on two wh

    Friday, the largest turnout in

    regional events history. The

    goal was to have 10,000 rider

    collection of high-end outlet stores

    slated to land just outside the

    eltway as part of a National Har-

    or deal that will give metropoli-

    n Washington shoppers, accus-

    med to traveling long distances

    r low outlet prices, a much clos-

    alternative.

    Tanger Outlet Center at Nation-

    Harbor will bring about 80 new

    ores to rapidly growing Prince

    eorges County, where residents

    ve long complained about a dearth

    retail options. It will be the lat-

    t addition to the still-expanding

    4 billion waterfront complex of

    ndominiums, stores, restaurants,

    d hotels.

    The National Harbor complex has inked a deal with Tanger Factory Outlet Centers.

    Tanger Factory Outlet Centers

    Inc. has signed a deal with the Peter-

    son Cos. to bring its high-end out-

    lets to the complex. Top company

    and county officials plan to make

    a formal announcement Monday

    at the International Council of

    son Cos., which opened National

    Harbor in 2008.

    Their relationship with leading

    national brands and experience in

    creating first-class retail destina-

    tions are a tremendous comple-

    ment to the existing retail, restau-

    rant and resort offerings at National

    Harbor.

    No leases have been signed

    for the proposed $100 million,

    350,000-square-foot building, which

    will sit on about 40 acres just off the

    Beltway. But Steven B. Tanger, pres-

    ident and chief executive of Tanger,

    said his company has relationships

    with nearly 500 brand-name stores,

    including Saks Fifth Avenue Off 5th,

    Nike, Cole Haan, Brooks Brothers,

    Coach and Tommy Hilfiger.

    Officials say they hope to break

    ground on the project by the end

    of the year, meaning the outlets

    could be open sometime in 2013.
