As a matter of safety and improving the transit experience for our customers and all our state’s citizens, the Maryland Transit Administration works continuously to maintain and improve our infrastructure and facilities statewide. Here are some of the projects we’re working on currently and those that are most likely to have an impact on the traveling public.


METRO SUBWAY

Metro System-Wide Door Repairs

IMPACT: Work will be taking place during peak and off-peak hours depending on accessibility of area, and to minimize any impacts to riders.  Work began at Johns Hopkins station in early August 2023 and is progressing north as they complete work at each station.  The Contractor will continue replacement of doors and frames at Lexington Market and Charles Center Station.  They will progress north towards Owings Mills and then circle back to Johns Hopkins and Shot Tower. 

Milford Mill Station Platform Repairs
DESCRIPTION:  Repair the concrete on the Milford Mill Metro Station passenger platform. The work includes installation and maintenance of pedestrian safety measures, removal of deteriorated concrete, placement of new concrete and replacement of existing concrete expansion joints.

IMPACT: The station will be open and trains will be in service throughout the construction period.  Pedestrian signage will be in place regarding access to all stairs, escalators and elevators. Single tracking may occur for short periods during revenue hours on Saturday and Sunday.  All work is weather permitting since this is an outdoors project.
