D.C. airport rail extension costs hold steady

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority's contractors completed preliminary engineering on the second phase of the Dulles Metrorail extension and concluded the current anticipated cost remains in line with previous estimates, according to the Fairfax Times.

The project will cost $3.2 billion to $3.3 billion overall. If Fairfax and Loudoun counties independently construct the Route 28 station and the parking garages at the new stations, then the core cost of the project drops to $2.7 billion to $2.8 billion. For the full story, click here.
