With chilly conditions and under gray skies, officials gathered Tuesday morning at Dulles International Airport to celebrate the opening of the Silver Line extension hours before passengers begin to board trains at new stations.Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Virginia Sens. Mark Warner and Tim Kaine, both Democrats, were among those expected to attend the ceremony, the first of several events planned Tuesday marking the launch of the long-awaited rail extension.
The $3 billion, 11.5-mile second phase will add six Metro stations, including three in Fairfax County, an airport station in time for the Thanksgiving holiday and two others in Loudoun. A Dulles station has been sought since the airport opened and coincides with the its 60th anniversary this week.The segment, which begins at Wiehle-Reston East — the current terminus of the Silver Line — and extends west to Ashburn, will complete the 23-mile Silver Line.
Metro leaders expect the extension to draw new transit users as thousands of apartments and condominiums come online around the six stations.
