“Beginning Monday, May 9, Metro will close the north entrance at L’Enfant Plaza Station at Maryland Ave and Seventh St to replace the three entrance escalators. The entrance will remain closed for approximately seven months. The work is part of a seven-year, $179 million escalator replacement project to install 130 new escalators by 2028.
Metro’s escalators are custom built to fit each entrance and cannot be purchased off the shelf. The three escalators at the north entrance are more than 39 years old and at the end of their useful life after last undergoing rehabilitation in 2001. Another 89 escalators throughout the system are also being rehabilitated to “like-new” condition under a separate contract, replacing all the major components such as motors, steps, handrails, and electrical systems. Overall, 517 of the system’s 618 escalators will be replaced or rehabilitated since the program began in 2011.”“Metro ridership is outpacing projections through the first three quarters of fiscal year 2022 by nearly 40 percent.
Following a slowdown in ridership recovery during the emergence of Covid variants, Metro ridership rebounded in March, boosted by businesses resuming in-person work, as well as visitors attending activities and events during cherry blossom season. Average weekday rail ridership peaked Tuesday through Thursday at 230,000 and bus at 280,000.
