Bethesda Metro station elevators near Hyatt Regency out-of-service for "remodeling"

The Bethesda Metro station elevators outside of the Hyatt Regency Bethesda hotel are currently out-of-service. According to a sign posted between them, they are closed for "remodeling." Signs direct bus and subway riders to use the elevator around the corner at Wisconsin Avenue and Montgomery Lane, near the historic Bethesda Post Office building. No date is given for restoration of service for these elevators.

BETHESDA METRO ELEVATORS REOPEN 2 DAYS EARLY (PHOTOS)

WMATA completed the delayed repair and inspection of the Bethesda Metro station elevators 2 days ahead of their previously-announced target, Friday.

Last evening, I was able to summon and enter the working elevator. (Whether it keeps working, is anyone's guess!).

Now, some may be reluctant to pop the Champagne corks over an early finish of long-delayed repairs.  But then you realize that we haven't even started on the escalator rehab nightmare, or the long-postponed southern elevator station access project by the Regal Bethesda 10.
