Forest Glen Posted October 19, 2009 Share #1 Posted October 19, 2009 A 23 mile extension of the DC Metro to Dulles Airport is being built. It will be completed in 2013. The extension is being built under the congested route 123. The extension is partially being funded by federal stimulus cash. Some sections of the tunnel are being built by the old fashioned cut and cover method. Other sections are being built with tunnel boring machines Credit given to Subchat's Sand Box John for posting the article http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/10/17/AR2009101700716.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metsfan Posted October 19, 2009 Share #2 Posted October 19, 2009 I am very happy this line was fit into the budget, and with stimulus aid dollars not a pay or service cut. - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duelingdragons Posted October 23, 2009 Share #3 Posted October 23, 2009 Exciting, and long overdue. I am such a big fan of rail transport to airports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
