Metro announces the start of construction for a new parking Structure at the White Flint Metrorail station

The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (Metro) has started construction on a new six-level parking structure near the White Flint Metrorail station on the Red Line in Montgomery County, MD. The new parking structure should be completed by summer 2005.

The new six-level parking structure will have 1,272 parking spaces. Once the area is closed for construction, customers will no longer be able to walk through the Kiss & Ride area from the parking lot into the station. There will be a new 500-foot pathway around the construction fence to ensure station access.

The new $13.7 million parking structure is part of a larger joint development project and will not have a Kiss & Ride area. The remaining service lot location has been sold and will be included for further development.

The station serves approximately 7,225 customers per weekday.

Metro apologizes for any inconvenience. For more information on Metro services, please call (202) 637-7000, TTD at 202 638-3780.
