The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) is constructing a 23-mile extension of the existing Metrorail system, which will be operated by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) from East Falls Church to Washington Dulles International Airport west to Ashburn. The extension will serve Tysons Corner, Virginia’s largest employment center, and the Reston/Herndon area, the state’s second largest employment concentration. And, it will provide a one-seat ride from Dulles International Airport to downtown Washington. It will be called the Silver Line.

Phase 2 will extend the Silver Line 11.4 miles west into Loudoun County, Va., from the Wiehle-Reston East Station. Capital Rail Constructors will design and construct six stations: Reston Town Center, Herndon, Innovation Center, Washington Dulles International Airport, Route 606, and Route 772 Ashburn. Five of the new stations will be built on ground level. At Dulles International Airport, the team will construct an aerial station. CONSTRUCTION HOTLINE: 1-844-385-RAIL
