Believe it when you see it - Dulles Rail Set to Get Federal Approval
By robertearl | April 30, 2008
Federal transportation officials are planning to approve the proposed 23-mile extension of Metrorail in Northern Virginia to Dulles International Airport in a letter to Congress today, the officials told local and state authorities yesterday.
Without the federal money, state and local officials have said, the project would die, ending the possibility of a long-sought rail connection between the nation’s capital and its major international airport. Supporters say the line would ease congestion through Northern Virginia’s biggest jobs corridor and keep the economy humming with the transformation of suburban Tysons Corner into a thriving downtown.
The rail line would go from Falls Church to the airport and into Loudoun County. The first phase, for which Virginia is seeking the federal money, would have four stations at Tysons Corner and end at Wiehle Avenue in Reston. (washingtonpost.com)
