The four storms that hit the Washington, D.C.-area earlier this month certainly wreaked havoc on the area and disrupted nearly everything.  At a recent update meeting on the status of the Tysons Corner Metro Extension project, planners indicated that the heavy snow while disrupting work for a bit won't have any real impact on the budget or timing of the project. 

The meeting was covered by the Vienna Connection, which also provided other update on the project, including the fact that "that roughly 85 percent of the design work for the 23-mile rail and its 11 stations had been completed."  Construction still continues on the various elements of Phase I, which extends the Metro from the Orange Line through Tysons Corner and out to Reston (Wiehle Ave.), and is still on schedule to be finshed by 2013.  Phase II will take the Silver Line from Wiehle Ave. under Dulles Airport and out to Ashburn and is just getting underway.  The entire project is expected to be completed by 2016.
