<p class="MsoNormal"><b>On Monday, October 17, 2016, Metro will begin a major capital project replacing the entrance escalator at the west entrance of College Park-U of Md Metrorail station.</b> The project will replace the current escalator, which was installed
in 1998 and has exceeded its useful life, with a brand new escalator that is more durable and reliable. Metro's contractor, KONE, will install the new escalator as part of our ongoing project to replace 128 escalators across the Metrorail system.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The west entrance has one escalator, one elevator and concrete stairs providing access to College Park station. While the escalator is replaced, the stairs and street elevator will remain in service. Additionally, customers may also use
the east side entrance which also has an escalator and elevator.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This escalator replacement is expected to take about 5 months for site preparation, demolition, construction, installation and testing.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We know that this work will impact you and your organization, and we want you to be as prepared as possible.
<b>Please forward this information along to others who may be affected in your organization so that they may plan appropriately.</b> Updated information will continue to be posted on Metro’s website (<a href="http://www.WMATA.com">wmata.com</a>).
