West Hyattsville Station Escalator Modernization
Updated: 4/7/2026
Advisory Effective: Aug 17, 2025 – Jun 28, 2026
On August 17, 2025, Metro began modernizing the escalators at the West Hyattsville Station. The work will take approximately ten months to complete, and one escalator will be out of service at a time.
This project will improve escalator reliability by replacing and upgrading all major components, controls, motors, and safety devices. This rehabilitation is part of Metro’s regular escalator maintenance program.
Customer Impacts
- One escalator will be replaced at a time.
