On November 17, 2025, Metro began Phase 4 to install the canopy above the station escalators at U Street Station.
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.
Three escalators at Entrance C (9th St, L’Enfant Plaza) are being replaced. Expected completion is August 2026. During construction, one escalator will be closed at a time. All entrances and the elevator are open.
The elevators on both sides of the pedestrian bridge that goes across East-West Hwy near Hyattsville Crossing Station, have been closed indefinitely. The pedestrian bridge and stairs will remain open.
Crystal City station will be closed over ten separate weekends until June 2026 as part of the Crystal City second entrance construction project. During impacted weekends, Metro will provide free shuttle buses at impacted stations.
