• Rockville West Side Bus Stop Relocations Begin Aug. 16

    Monday, August 9, 2021

    From the Montgomery  County Department of Transportation (MCDOT):

    "The Shady Grove and Rockville Metro stations will close for three months from September 11th through December 4th, 2021 to allow work crews to demolish and replace the concrete canopy at the Rockville Metro station.  Free shuttle buses will replace trains and take riders to/from the closed stations (between Shady Grove and Twinbrook stations) every 10 minutes. Customers who wish to bypass the station closures should consider using the Twinbrook or White Flint instead.

    This project starts on August 16th at Rockville with bus stop relocations on the west side of the station to temporary bus stops (T1 – T8) in the Kiss & Ride lot and G on the street. However, Pick-up/Drop-off for the Ride On Flex will move to the T8 on August 9th, then shift to the T2 on August 16th.

    The West Kiss & Ride Lot at Rockville will be closed on August 9 for approximately five months, so please use the East Kiss & Ride Lot during this time.  The parking lots at the Shady Grove and Rockville East side of the station will remain open during construction.  Both stations have paid parking garages and surface lots.
