All aboard – in the near future – to Reston, Herndon, Dulles International Airport and beyond.

Earlier this month, the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) announced substantial completion on Phase 2 of the Metrorail Silver Line extension project, which consists of 11.5 miles from Reston to Loudoun County.

Substantial completion means most of the construction is complete allowing for the operational testing to begin, a key step toward MWAA delivering the new rail line extension to the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA), the operator of Metrorail. WMATA will ultimately decide when the new line extension opens for service.
