Metro will begin updating the Foggy Bottom Metro station as part of a $177 million rehabilitation of Metrorail’s Red Line this fall, the Washington Post reported last week .

Plans include adding a stairwell, new escalators and canopy to the entrance of GW’s Metro stop on the Blue and Orange Lines.

A Metro spokesperson told The Hatchet previously that the plans were included in the Red Line phase of Metro projects, rather than the Blue Line phase, due to frequent escalator breakdowns.

The Washington Post reports that the Red Line project is slated to be finished in the summer of 2013. Rehabilitation projects are also planned for the other Metrorail lines in coming years.
