Judiciary Square station is a Washington Metro station in Washington, D.C., on the Red Line. It is located in the Judiciary Square neighborhood in the Northwest quadrant of the city, with entrances at 4th and D Street and 5th and F Street. It serves the many courthouses and municipal buildings in the area. The 5th and F Street entrance is located in the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial, which incorporates the escalators and elevators into its architecture. [2]
Service began on March 27, 1976. [3] This station is also the birthplace of the Metro, as the initial groundbreaking was held here on December 9, 1969. [4]
During a September 2012 refurbishment of the station, new signage was installed. Similar signage can be found at the Gallery Place, NoMa–Gallaudet U, Morgan Boulevard, Grosvenor-Strathmore, and Largo Town Center stations. It is the only station with two-sided platforms with elevators between each platform and street.
From March 26 to June 28, 2020, this station was closed due to the 2020 coronavirus pandemic. [5] [6] [7]
Between January 15 to January 21, 2021, this station was closed because of security concerns due to the 2021 Inauguration. [8]
The station has two tracks with two side platforms and a mezzanine on either end. Each mezzanine has fare gates and escalators reaching the street level. At the northwest end of the platforms, a pair of elevators directly serve the platforms, each with a single fare gate and ticket machine.
