The Metrorail Blue Line splits from the Orange Line and enters a tunnel here. The tunnel passes under D.C. Route 295 (Anacostia Freeway) and follows Benning Road and East Capitol Street. The other end is at the Addison Road - Seat Pleasant Metro Station.
West of this point, the Blue and Orange Lines continue on an elevated section of the Anacosta River, Benning Road, and parking areas for R.F.K. Stadium before entering a tunnel at C Street Northeast. Northeast of this point, the Orange Line continues on an elevated bridge over D.C. Route 295 (Anacostia Freeway) and the CSX railway.
