Elevator Modernization Project

On October 7, 2025, Metro began rehabilitating the elevator servicing the Mezzanine and street-level at McPherson Square Station. The work will take approximately two months to complete, and the elevator will be out of service during that 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.
