Photos: Silver Line Makes Progress

Virginia Department of Transportation releases new aerial photos of Metro construction through Tysons Corner

 

Nearly all commuters and residents passing through Tysons Corner have seen progress on Metro's Silver Line from the ground.

Now, the Virginia Department of Transportation is offering a glimpse of construction from the top.

The agency released aerial photos of the developing railway this week, which snakes from Falls Church through McLean, Tysons and Reston. It will eventually continue through Herndon and Dulles Airport.

For a glimpse of VDOT's photo set, click through the gallery above.

Hi Amrish, the last update we ran said it will be completed in summer 2013, and start running in "late 2013."
