A milestone was reached for the Dulles Corridor Metrorail in late October. The tunnel's west end was "holed through" by miners in preparation for completing the mining portion of excavation. Miners worked diligently for over one year, both night and day, to get the Dulles Metrorail built.
Inbound tunnel mining is taking place this month. After excavation, the workers will reinforce the tunnel from the inside using a spray-able concrete substance. Waterproofing and further reinforcement will finish off construction toward the end of 2011.
The Dulles Corridor Metrorail stretch from Reston to 
Falls Church is 11.5 miles long. Construction is around 22% complete. The rail extension will merge with the existing Orange Line at the intersection of Route 267 and I-66 near West Falls Church.
Pier construction is now complete. Detours are available for drivers at the Dulles Connector Road, Route 123, I-495, I-66 West and at the local roads near Route 7 and Idylwood Road.
