Cost of Washington Tysons Metrorail expansion explodes
Boosters in Northern Virginia have long wanted to expand Metrorail to Tysons Corner, which is a commercial center in Fairfax County, and later to Dulles International Airport. Project page. Now the cost has suddenly exploded, with the current estimate being $2.4 billion for rail to Tysons. So the engineers have suggested various ways to reduce costs, including elevating a track structure in Tysons rather than burying it.
The Federal Transit Administration had already given the project low cost-effectiveness ratings, so this increase won't help.
