The Dulles Corridor Metrorail Project consists of 11 new stations, which are being constructed in two phases. Phase 1 runs from East Falls Church with four stations in Tysons and one station on Wiehle Avenue in Reston. Phase 2 picks up at the Phase 1 terminus location, Wiehle-Reston East, and runs in the median of the Dulles Toll Road and the Dulles Access Highway for three stations, then to an elevated station at Dulles Airport, and then continues with two stops in Loudoun County.
With the completion of Phase I of the Silver Line in 2014, the areas surrounding the new Metro stations experienced an explosion of economic and development activity. New apartments, office buildings, and mixed-use town centers have transformed the newly Metro-connected towns and neighborhoods in Northern Virginia. The rapid growth of technology, defense, and cloud computing industries along this corridor has further supported this economic activity. Phase II of the Silver Line is currently slated to open in Fall 2021, and many real estate firms are preparing for it to be a similar catalyst for economic development.
What you will learn:
- The history of the Silver Line project and an overview of key developments along its path.
- Placemaking in the immediate area surrounding the new Metro stations.
- Challenges faced by both the Silver Line and key developments during the existing COVID environment.
- The impact of the Metro rail to the development visions, land use planning, and economic development in the path of growth.
