New Judiciary Square Entrance Stairs and Canopy

Advisory Effective: 1/1/23 - 6/30/25

In January 2023, Metro began a capital project to install a new staircase and canopy at Judiciary Square Station’s north entrance, located at F Street between 4th and 5th Streets NW.

This work is part of Metro’s Canopy Installation Project, which will install nine new canopies and three new stairways at station entrances. This infrastructure investment is part of Metro’s ongoing commitment to ensuring its system remains in a state of good repair.

How will this work affect my trip?

The station entrance will remain open during construction. The escalators at the station will remain in service while the staircase and canopy are installed.

How long will the project take?

The staircase is scheduled to open in winter 2024 and canopy construction will be complete by summer 2025.

How can I stay informed about the project?
