Minnesota Av Station Elevator Modernization
Updated: 10/27/2026
Advisory Effective: Nov 2, 2026 – Dec 12, 2026
Beginning November 2, 2026, Metro will replace the two elevators in the Minnesota Av parking garage. During this project, one elevator will be out of service at a time.
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 Information
During elevator modernization work, one elevator will be closed. The other elevator will be open for public use.
For your safety, stay clear of the construction zone and follow all posted signs.
