There has been talk for years about bringing the Metro out to Western Fairfax and Loudoun County and it looks like we have a start date for phase one. The construction for phase one will begin in March of the this year and will be completed by mid summer of 2013. Phase One will bring the Metro out from East Falls Church to Wiehle Avenue in Reston. There will be four stops in the Tysons area and one at Wiehle.
The second phase that has yet to announce a start date but will bring six new stops that will include Reston Parkway, Herndon Monroe, Route 28, Dulles Airport, Route 606 and Ashburn.
The Metro is a welcome opportunity for Northern Virginia to cut down on traffic and pollution. I am sure anyone who drives down Route 7 at 7 am will appreciate an opportunity to hitch a ride on public transportation. For more information check out the following website-http://www.dullesmetro.com/.
