In the continuing saga of the metro rail extension to Wiehle Avenue, the Dulles Corridor Metrorail Project has announced they will begin initial construction in a few weeks, despite the fact that $900 million in crucial federal funding still hasn’t come through.
One of the important steps is utility relocation in Tysons Corner. Gas lines, electricity, water and more must be removed from underneath Route 7. Most of the work will occur in the service roads, which will eventually be shut down and have a sidewalk put in their place. The work starts at the intersection of 7 and 123, and will head west, and then turn around. Work will not be done during peak holiday traffic hours.
This measure is seen by many as Fairfax County and Virginia strong arming their way to federal funding for the rail project.
