I see press coverage of some money appearing for the planned underpass beneath Rockville Pike.

But I'm yet to see any cogent details.

Will it create a 2nd entrance to the platform; i.e. more faregates?
Will it extend under Naval Medical's massive lawn into the building; or just cross the road and resurface?

See Medical Center Station Access Improvement Study FINAL (20.1 MB PDF file) pages Sec 6 36 - 54 for plans and elevations of the various options proposed.
