Bethesda Metro Station Escalator Project Update
WMATA project to replace the Bethesda station escalator begins. Robert Dyer @ Bethesda Row reports on what that means for Bethesda Metro.
Robert Dyer @ Bethesda Row is reporting that the replacement of the first of 3 106’ entrance escalators at the Bethesda Metro station is underway, and will take approximately 42 weeks to complete.
Robert Dyer @ Bethesda Row reveals that a transit officer must be on-site at all times in the event of an emergency during the 2-1/2-year escalator replacement project. Part of that is to ensure the station does not become overcrowded, should any failures occur with the still-operating escalators.
