Addison Road parking garage elevators to be modernized

One elevator in the parking garage and the pedestrian bridge elevator at the Addison Road-Seat Pleasant Metrorail Station will be overhauled in the coming weeks. The 10-week modernization process on both elevators will begin on October 3. The elevators are expected to return to service by December 17.

An elevator modernization includes replacing a majority of the mechanical parts and elevator cab equipment with new ones to ensure the elevator operates safely and reliably for customers, and extends the life of the elevator.
