Farragut N and W Improvement Concepts

Published on Jun 26, 2025

This long-standing proposal aimed to connect WMATA’s Farragut West Station (serving the Orange, Blue, and Silver lines) with Farragut North Station (Red line) via an underground pedestrian tunnel. Although the connection had been envisioned in the original station designs—with knock-out panels already in place to accommodate a future link—multiple obstacles prevented its realization. Over the course of the study, several alignment options were explored beneath Connecticut Avenue. Challenges included the presence of an existing vent shaft in the center of the roadway and significant constraints imposed by the National Park Service, which prohibits new construction on its property. Additionally, development over time—including new buildings over potential tunnel paths—further complicated feasibility. Despite these issues, the project remains a critical piece of long-range planning to improve connectivity and reduce congestion within the Metro system.
