Dupont Escalators to Close on Sunday. Because of escalator canopy construction at Dupont Circle, the 19th Street metrorail portal at the south end of the circle will be shut for most of Sunday. Weekend commuters should use the Q Street escalators, pictured in this photo posted by FurCafe in DCist Photos, instead.

In 2005, escalators at the following stations will get escalator canopies:
White Flint, Stadium Armory, Capitol Heights, Benning Road, Dupont Circle South, Woodley Park-Zoo/Adams Morgan, Cleveland Park, Van Ness-UDC, Friendship Heights, Waterfront, Shaw-Howard University, U Street/African American Civil War Memorial/Cardozo, Grosvenor-Strathmore, College Park (West), Smithsonian (Mall), Crystal City, Pentagon City, and Navy Yard (East).
