Metro News Release

For immediate release: May 10, 2010

New Carrollton surface lot #4 and Branch Avenue HOV parking lot closed this weekend

Metro will conduct preventive maintenance work at the New Carrollton Metrorail station surface parking lot #4 to keep it in a state of good repair, resulting in the closure of the facility on Saturday, May 15, and Sunday, May 16. This work should minimally impact customers, as only about 825 of 3,519 parking spaces will be closed off temporarily for those two days. The surface parking lot #4 will reopen on Monday, May 17, at 5 a.m.

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

From 8 p.m., Friday, May 14, to 8 p.m., Sunday, May 16, the high-occupancy surface vehicle parking lot at the Branch Avenue Metrorail station will be closed for the Andrews Air Force Base Show. Parking will be available at the Kiss & Ride facility and all other Branch Avenue parking facilities.

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.
