Rockville station elevator modernization
Updated: 8/5/2026
Advisory Effective: Apr 21, 2026 – Oct 15, 2026
Beginning April 21, 2026, Metro will replace the two elevators on the east side of Hungerford Dr (Rt. 355) near the Park Av entrance of the station. During this project, one elevator will be out of service at a time; the other elevator will be open for public use.
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.
