Local and regional leaders on July 12 gathered to celebrate the ground-breaking of a project that will provide an additional entrance to the Crystal City Metro station.
When completed, the effort will result in an access point to the station from 18th Street South and Crystal Drive. It will provide increased connectivity to the Virginia Railway Express, Amtrak, local transit and bike options, and the planned connection to the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
Construction is expected to be completed in 2027.
The project is a collaboration between the Arlington County government, Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation, Northern Virginia Transit Authority and Federal Transit Administration.
