LinkLinksOpinion Washington Post Editorial Board: Metro’s outlook darkens as Silver Line extension could be delayed again By Editor On Sep 25, 2022 Last updated Sep 25, 2022 55 Share On Friday, the Washington area’s transit system unveiled a new Metrorail map that showed the 11.5-mile Silver Line extension to Dulles International Airport and points farther west. The map and, more to the point, the extension’s imminent opening are major milestones for the 46-year-old transit system, now the nation’s third busiest. They are also a symbolically important moment for the nation’s capital itself: At last, it will be served by a rail link to an international airport, as many major world cities have been for decades. 55 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
