WMATA: Dulles Corridor Metrorail Project Pictures 10 24 2010
Posted by Sand Box John on Mon Oct 25 00:16:23 2010 edf40wrjww2msgDetail:detailStr fiogf49gjkf0d Both post-tension lifting gantry trusses as seen from parking garage D Tysons Corner Center. The lifting gantry truss in background is working the outbound track N2 span over eastbound VA-267 Dulles Connector Road. Lifting gantry truss in foreground is working the outbound track N2 span over the ramp from southbound Chain Bridge Road to southbound Capitol Beltway VA I-495 Outerloop. The center of the spans the trusses are working are roughly 4,840 line of sight feet from one another, or roughly 4,930 alignment feet from one another. This just one of the 358 pictures I took on Saturday. Progress report with selected photos to follow. John in the sand box of Maryland's eastern shore.

When is the first phase due to be completed?

The view from the trains along that section will be mostly the lower floors of the office building along Chain Bridge Road and the traffic below. The angles for taking pictures of the trains from garages D and E at Tysons Corner Center are endless. When is the first phase due to be completed? Dulles Transit Partners is saying 4th quarter 2013. My guess is 2nd quarter 2014. The contractor started putting in the foundations for the Tyson West (Spring Hill Road) station only in the last few weeks. Piles for the flyover in the Leesburg Pike VA-7 Dulles Access/Toll Road VA-267 interchange haven't been driven yet. John in the sand box of Maryland's eastern shore.

Thank you. I was trying to get an angle similar to this one: The giant blue and yellow truss now being used along Route 123 in Tysons Corner approaches I-495. Photo by Chuck Samuelson, Dulles Corridor Metrorail Project The truss in the background was an unexpected bonus. The image was cropped from this one: NIKON D70s ISO 400 Nikor 200mm AI-s f/11 1/640 John in the sand box of Maryland's eastern shore.
