Advisory Effective: 2/3/26 - 4/14/26

En Español

Elevator Modernization Project

On February 3, 2026, Metro began rehabilitating the back elevator servicing the Platform and Mezzanine levels at Mt Vernon Square Station. The work will take approximately two months to complete, and the elevator will be out of service during that time. Customers will be able to use the adjacent elevator.

The project will improve elevator reliability by replacing and upgrading all major components, including a new passenger cab, controls, motors, and safety devices. This is part of Metro’s regular elevator maintenance program, which includes monthly and annual maintenance on all 350+ elevators and major rehabilitation work every 10-15 years.

Customer Impacts

  • The elevator located at the back platform level will be closed. Customers will be directed to use the adjacent elevator.
  • For your safety, stay clear of the construction zone and follow all posted signs.
