A portion of
the Woodmont-Rugby Avenue garage in Bethesda is closed to parkers and
construction is expected to begin later this year on a new parking garage for the North
Bethesda Marriott Conference Center.
Part of the Woodmont-Rugby Avenue County parking garage, closest to the Rugby Avenue entrance, is permanently closed, eliminating 119 parking spaces (22 short-term, 97 long-term), which will be used to store police vehicles and equipment. The entrance remains open to pedestrians. A new 2nd district police station will be constructed on the vacant lot adjacent to the garage.
An online fact sheet lists nearby parking alternatives.

Construction is expected to begin later this year on a new six-level, 650-space parking garage that will replace the surface parking lot at the North Bethesda Marriott Conference Center. The project is expected to take 12 to 15 months.
