The Bldg. 31A shuttle stop on NIH’s main campus has been relocated to the Bldg. 31B entrance in the NIH Police parking lot until Oct. 2027 due to the Center Drive utility tunnel construction project.

On Oct. 20, NIH’s Office of Research Facilities began the second phase of the utility tunnel construction project. The new tunnel will carry steam and chilled and domestic water lines to Bldgs. 2, 6, 6A and 33. The project, which replaces lines that were first installed nearly 70 years ago, will take approximately two years to complete. 

Campus North, Campus South, and the Bldg. 31A/Metro Express shuttle all stop at Bldg. 31. The new shuttle stop is equipped with a bus shelter to protect riders from the elements and is fully compliant with disability access requirements.
