A significant progress has been achieved in the construction process of the second phase of the Metrorail Silver Line extension project by Capital Rail Constructors (CRC), which is a joint venture managed by Clark Construction Group and Kiewit.<\/p>\n
The design-build works were CRC’s duty in this project, which is being administered by the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA).<\/p>\n
In order to illustrate the project\u2019s functionality, this landmark has smoothed the way to enable the start of operational readiness testing.<\/p>\n
The project involves the extension of the region\u2019s Metrorail public transit system, which is operated by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA), to Dulles International Airport and beyond.<\/p>\n
“After successful Phase 1 and Phase 2 tie-in testing at Wiehle Avenue, MWAA has approved substantial completion of the Package A Silver Line Phase 2 project. The project will now move into Operational Readiness Testing, which will be completed by MWAA and WMATA,” stated CRC project director Keith Couch.<\/p>\n
A new path with 18.5km length, which extends from the Wiehle-Reston East Station to a terminus in Loudoun County, including six new Metrorail stations, will be the subsets of Package A Silver Line Phase 2 project.<\/p>\n
While the building of a 90a rail maintenance yard at Dulles International Airport is also this project’s component, in accordance with a separate contract, the construction of the yard, which is being executed by Hensel Phelps, is also nearing completion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
