The first of three new entrance escalators at Metro's Bethesda station will open for service starting Monday.

At 106 feet, Metro says the new escalator is the second longest in the Western Hemisphere behind the one at the Wheaton Station.

Metro said it took more than nine months to demolish the old escalator and to rebuild.
