Metro News Release

For immediate release: June 19, 2008

New Carrollton surface lot #2 and Tenleytown-AU Kiss-and-Ride lot closed this weekend due to scheduled maintenance

Metro will conduct preventive maintenance work at the New Carrollton Metrorail station surface parking lot #2, resulting in the closure of the facility on Saturday, June 21, and Sunday, June 22. This work should minimally impact customers, as only about 357 of 3,519 parking spaces will be closed off.

The main parking garage and surface lots #3 and #4 will remain open this weekend. Signs were posted at the entrance and exit to lot #2 last week to alert customers of this closure.

On Saturday, June 21, the Tenleytown Kiss-and-Ride Lot at Fort Drive, NW, will be closed in preparation for re-surfacing. While Metro's portion of this street will be closed to parking, it will remain open to Metrobus traffic. On Saturday, June 28, the Kiss-and Ride Lot will be closed for asphalt paving and Metrobus service will be detoured until the re-surfacing work is completed. The street is scheduled to reopen that afternoon.

Metro apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause. For more information on this project, customers may see the station manager, call (202) 637-7000, (TTY) at 202-638-3780, or visit Metro’s web site at www.metroopensdoors.com.
