U.S. Reps. Wexler, Beyer and Connolly expressed concerns about the project’s repeated setbacks.
The project seemed to reach a milestone when the airports authority declared it had finished a rail yard in December. But last week, Metro officials said three “no-go” issues continue to stand in the way of the transit agency taking possession of the line.
Metro General Manager Paul J. Wiedefeld said last week at a Metro board meeting that the latest issues will push back a possible opening until at least July.The House members cited his update in urging MWAA to address the incomplete tasks in a “timely manner.” The lawmakers noted some of the issues “have been known about for months.
The extension has long been viewed as an economic boon for Northern Virginia, attracting tech companies and other businesses to build offices along the line. “Phase 2 of the Silver Line presents a major opportunity for the continued growth and development of our region, and we look forward to the swift completion of a system that is safe, reliable, and built to last,” the House members wrote.The letter was sent to John E. Potter, MWAA’s president and chief executive, and MWAA board Chairman William Sudow. MWAA spokeswoman Marcia McAllister said Tuesday that contractors have been working on a daily basis with Metro to ensure the issues are resolved.
“We were glad to see the letter because it emphasizes what we’ve been doing all along,” she said. “We are confident that we will continue to work positively with [Metro].”
