Now, scaffolding has been installed for several weeks of after-hours repair. Access to the station will be unaffected. WMATA says the source of the water is the property located above the station, and that property owner is making the repairs, not Metro.

WMATA BEGINS REPAIR OF LEAKING CEILING OVER BETHESDA METRO STATION ESCALATOR (PHOTOS)
The leaks over a Bethesda Metro station escalator are hardly news to regular commuters there. But they gained greater public attention during the recent Polar Vortex, when massive icicles formed that threatened to fatally injure Metro riders before the escalator was taken out of service.
You really didn't need to say that the property owner above there was making the repairs and not metro. If it had been the responsibility of metro, repairs would have been in 2015 or 2016.
ReplyDeleteThis leak has been going forever, dropping water on everyone coming up the escalators in Bethesda.
ReplyDeleteWhat took so long for someone nto do something?
I don't take care of repairing. I incline toward the most effective materials and guarantee for any sealing material. EPDM Liquid Rubber could be a tight one sealing material and dealing with assurance. Abundant duty-bound for sharing.
