Metro is slated to reopen six of its Blue and Yellow line stations Sept. 9 after closing all stations south of Washington Reagan National Airport since May 25. The 15-week shutdown, which shuttered all Alexandria stations, allowed platform reconstruction and repair work to be completed at Braddock Road, King Street-Old Town, Eisenhower Avenue, Huntington, Van Dorn and Franconia-Springfield. Commuters and business owners weigh in on how they were affected by the shutdown.
