The Dulles Corridor Metrorail Projectis a 23-mile extension of Washington’s existing Metrorail System. Construction of Phase 1 is complete and covers 11.7 miles with five stations. Phase 2 is underway and will complete the extension with six additional stations. Upon completion, the line will provide a one-seat, no-transfer ride from Dulles Airport to downtown Washington, D.C. creating a long-sought connectivity between the burgeoning Washington corridor and the nation’s capital. The two-phase project will cost an estimated $5.683 billion.
More than 150,000 square-feet of RHEINZINK prePATINA blue-grey and prePATINA graphite-grey was used in multiple applications on all five Phase 1 stations. The 1-inch Double Lock Standing Seam Panels strategically highlight the escalator vaults, rider pavilions, pedestrian bridges and platform canopies. In addition, approximately 180,000 square-feet of RHEINZINK Double Lock Standing Seam Panels has been specified for use on five of the six Phase 2 stations which are under construction now.
