Metrobus will provide service to and from the new McLean and Tysons Corner stations. Using the online Ask Fairfax! forum, they took 66 questions about bus route and schedule changes, park and ride options, and other topics related to the Silver Line. On Wednesday, July 9 Nick Perfili, Fairfax Connector operations and planning manager, and Martha Coello, Dulles Rail project planner, held an online discussion on Fairfax Connector's upcoming Silver Line service. For the year 2013, the most used five Fairfax Connector bus routes were Routes 401 and 402: Backlick - Gallows Road, Route 171 Richmond Highway, Route 950 Herndon – Reston, Route 980 Herndon-Monroe Park and Ride, and Route 310 Franconia Road - Rolling Valley. In addition, routes 924, 926, and 929 will connect Herndon-Monroe and Wiehle during weekday rush hours. Route 950 will continue to serve Sunrise Valley Drive as it does today and will connect to the Wiehle station after serving Herndon-Monroe daily. The Sunset Hills Interim parking in Reston near the intersection of Sunset Hills Road and Town Center Parkway will be closed beginning July 26.įairfax County transportation experts have been preparing the public for the new transportation routes bus services will offer at Silver Line stations. Ultimately, the Silver Line will extend to Dulles International Airport and serve passengers traveling to Tysons from the Dulles Corridor to the west, and from Arlington and the District of Columbia to the east. The Silver Line will have one station in Reston and four in Tysons Corner. The $2.9 billion first phase of the Silver Line is 11.4 miles of track from Wiehle Avenue to East Falls Church, where the route meets the Orange Line. Among the changes are elimination of old bus routes and the closure of the Sunset Hills Interim parking in Reston near the intersection of Sunset Hills Road and Town Center Parkway. Officials anticipated the Silver Line would open months earlier, but the decision was put off because of construction delays. Silver Line riders will be able to board trains at the Wiehle Avenue station in Reston at noon that Saturday, according to an announcement by Metro General Manager Richard Sarles. On July 26, the Silver Line, an extension of the Washington Metro rapid transit system will have its opening day.
