Metro moves forward on new Blue Line station in, through Rosslyn and downtown tunnels
WASHINGTON – Metro wants to more seriously consider building a new Blue Line station in Rosslyn that would include a new rail line through Georgetown, as part of a plan that has been on Metro’s long-term list of priorities for several years.
On Thursday, the Metro Board is scheduled to back an application to the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority for $2 million to “begin the process to address capacity issues at Rosslyn station as well as reliability issues” throughout the Blue, Orange and Silver Line corridors.

Metro’s 2013 plan for what the system could look like in 2025 and 2040 offered alternatives to a new Rosslyn station, including rerouting the Orange and Silver lines south toward the Pentagon without stopping at Rosslyn.
