Was going to say, the elevator through the escalator tunnel was a dead giveaway there...

In a few years when the second all elevator entrance is finished that elevator will be removed. The give a way that will identify the location will be the 4 escalators as Rosslyn is the only station with a 4 escalator bank.

Wouldn't that possibly impair access for customers needing to use the current elevators to get to buses unless the buses are routed one block north from N. Moore St. to Fort Myer Dr.? I know as it is they have to cross back across N. Moore to get to buses, but the new exit seems a teeny bit out of the way for someone in that position.

The surface landing of new elevators are only a few steps away from the surface landing of the existing elevator. See pages 15, 16 and 20 of Rosslyn Station New Entrance Study, Final Report, March 2007 (http://www.wmata.com/pdfs/planning/Station%20Access/Rosslyn_Final_Report%202007.pdf) (1.41 MB PDF file).
