Construction at the old Waterside Mall location continues to progress. We got word of additional demolition about to take place in the parking lots around the Metro entrance. The Metro entrace will remain open and functioning during all of the construction, but some parking and pedestrian access will be closed. Below is the announcement we received (the shaded areas in the image are the areas about to be demolished). Also, check out the live webcam to check on progress anytime.

On or about October 9, 2008, the parking area between the Waterfront/SEU Metro Station escalator and the Bank of America located at Waterfront Station will be closed to vehicles and pedestrians to make way for the demolition and construction of 4th Street, SW.  The Metro station escalators and elevators will not be affected by the change.  Parking for Safeway will continue to be available in the lot adjacent to the Safeway store along M Street.  Please see the diagram below:
