For the second straight day following Sunday’s winter storm, Arlington County facilities will be closed on Tuesday.
“Due to inclement weather, Arlington County Government will shift to virtual operations on Tuesday, Jan. 27, 2026,” the county announced around 7:30 p.m. Monday. “Programs are canceled. All County facilities are closed.”
That includes libraries, community centers, courts and county government offices. It was previously announced that Arlington Public Schools would be closed Tuesday and the day’s trash collection service was cancelled.
Federal government offices are also closed Tuesday, the Office of Personnel Management announced. Transit service, meanwhile, is being impacted by many roads still being covered in snow and ice.
“Due to the icy weather conditions ART will keep suspended service for Tuesday, January 27, 2026, with plans to resume service once road conditions permit,” Arlington Transit said. “All standing orders except for dialysis, will be cancelled for STAR.”
Just after 6 p.m. Metro announced that all bus and rail service would be suspended at midnight and limited service will resume Tuesday morning.
UPDATE:
Metro Rail & Bus service will be suspended at midnight tonight.
Tomorrow, rail will run on a Sun schedule. Bus service will start at 6AM with plans to increase routes as road conditions permit. Metro Access will reopen at 8AM for all trips.
