Navy Yard-Ballpark Escalator Replacement

Advisory Effective: 9/30/24 - 4/1/26

En Español

In September 2024, Metro began a major capital project replacing the three entrance escalators and one platform escalator at the east entrance of Navy Yard-Ballpark Station (NW corner of M St. at New Jersey Ave. SE). The project will replace the four escalators with brand-new ones that are more durable and reliable. The escalators are being installed as part of an ongoing effort to replace 139 escalators across the Metrorail system by 2028.

Customer Information

• One platform escalator and one entrance escalator will be replaced as a pair. The two remaining entrance escalators will be replaced one at a time.
• While one entrance escalator is under construction, the remaining two entrance escalators will be operational and traveling in opposite directions.
• The station entrances, stairways, and elevators will remain open throughout construction.
• For your safety, stay clear of the construction zone and follow all posted signs.

Project Timeframe

The escalator replacement project at the east entrance of Navy Yard-Ballpark Station (NW corner of M St. at New Jersey Ave. SE) is expected to be complete in Fall 2025. The escalator replacement project will continue at Navy Yard-Ballpark Station’s west entrance (SE corner of M & Half Sts., SE) at the end of the 2025 baseball season.
