"Metro will reopen six Fairfax County stations and restore Silver Line service on August 16—weeks earlier than originally planned"
Remember that #wmata's original summer shutdown plan did not include closing any Silver Line stations other than EFC.

Stations remaining closed:
* Vienna
* Dunn Loring
* East Falls Church
WFC, like in the original shutdown plan, will be the Orange Line western terminus. #wmata
"Customers at all Orange Line stations will notice ongoing construction activity at the stations, even after they reopen."
Just because trains are back doesn't mean #wmata is "finished" with its work.
Throwback to my reporting from 22 April when #wmata modified the summer shutdown to close all Silver Line stations west of Ballston: metroreasons.blogspot.com/2020/04/metro-…
The entire Silver Line did not need to close for the Wiehle Phase 2 tie-in (there were multiple reasons, read my #pt)
"#WMATA is favorably looking at doing a complete shutdown for two to three weeks instead of 15 to 16 weekend shutdowns."

With #wmata now saying they'lll reopen the Silver Line to Wiehle on August 16, the ball is in MWAA's court for when they'll restore the Silver Line Express bus running from Wiehle to IAD: ggwash.org/view/77742/sle…
