track access to start taking care possibly start taking care of this problem along the red line. that's be deviled metro since the system opened in 1976. >> now we'll dive right back into those delays again. so what's behind all the problems here gentleman what is it they're trying to fix and avoid in the future by shutting down service on the weekends? >> reporter: all right. so this section of red line which is really 9 miles from the grosvenor tunnel all the way down to downtown d.c. but the problem seems to be worse here medical center and bethesda. this problem goes back to the way the tunnel was bored before a more modern method that would have put a waterproof membrane around the tunnel, became widespread use in the united states. so let's take look at some video we shot this morning right from medical center. water literally cascade down from the ceiling, down the walls, into tunnel creating dangerous pools near electronic components. we're familiar witness term a ac

arcing insulators by now. they have to drain out millions of gallons of water from this stretch of tunnel every single week. tunnel is below the water table, it was built to leak to relieve the hydrostatic pressure metro has not been able to find a long-term solution. they hope until now. so let's talk a little bit about that what might be. read right from metro' information. it's called curtain grouting. curtain grouting. yes, not something do you in your bathroom. it's been used in mining, not necessarily in transit. it adds a waterproof membrane to the exterior of the tunnel walls using a polymer based material. so essentially what metro does, drill holes in the ceiling of the tunnel, shoot this polymer based material up through it then starts to cover the exterior of the tunnel as metro describes it the way chocolate syrup can cades down an ice cream sunday. steve. >> that's putting nice spin on it for the folks who are delayed i'm sure they'll enjoy that vision of the chocolate syrup on the ice cream

>> it seems like, marty, this is just the latest once we open this pandora's bock of metro problems when the general manager paul wiedefeld came on board he may not have expected this many problems to be there to have to be serviced and fi fixed. i guess the question is what's next? what possible system out there. you've covered metro for a long time. that will be the next step when it comes to delays or service problems or preventative maintenance down the road? >> reporter: that's right. wiedefeld himself has admitted did he not know the scale or ooh nor p.m. the problems when he first got here and metro has been learning more more than as it's been tearing up the system. that's why after safetrack ended there would be surge like project that is would take ten commuting days each on small pieces of the system in the fall, in the winter and late neck spring. really remains to be seen that's why metro is trying to get the message out to riders that even though safetrack ended, there's going to be lot of work ahead. just give you anxa

about. if this test works, and metro won't know if waterproofing membrane works until early next year, medical center only 3% of that 9-mile stretch that's be 19 the water table. it would cost many millions of dollars and many years to affect a permanent fix for that entire stretch. there's going to try along this part of the tunnel to begin with and it's why metro is asking the region for dedicated funding because all these projects cost so much. one final note, steve. we've asked metro to tell hughes the contractor is and how much this project will cost. and we're still waiting to hear back from them on the medical center ice cream sunday project. let's call it that. >> all right. disturbing to hear such a small percentage of the potential work that is still left to be done. marty, thank you very much. good to talk to you. let us know when you get those answers. 7:35 now. al? >> report roar okay. steve, happening today in northern virginia, special honor for the police officers, paramedics and firefighter who's responded to the congressional baseball practice shooting in alexandria
