The Dulles Corridor Metrorail Project is ready to start construction on the pedestrian pavilion that will provide access across Route 123 to the Tysons East Metrorail Station at the corner of Route 123 and Scotts Crossing Road between the Dulles Toll/Dulles Connector Road and I-495. This pavilion will be located at the corner of Route 123 and Colshire Drive (see rendering), and will serve as the ground-level entrance to the pedestrian bridges over Route 123. It is the first pedestrian pavillion to be built by the rail project.
Pile driving, which generates significant noise, will be necessary. This activity drives steel piles into the soil to build foundations for pavilion structures. The pile driving will be performed between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. on weekdays and the occasional Saturday.
A total of 38 piles are to be installed, which is expected to last for approximately three weeks.
Nearby residents at the Gates of McLean and along Anderson Road are likely to hear the noise generated as will employees at Capital One, at some Cityline Partners-owned buildings and at Northrop Grumman and MITRE operations located on Colshire Drive.
Construction of additional pavilions at the other four stations - Tysons Central 123 at Route 123 and Tysons Boulevard; Tysons Central 7 on Route 7 near SAIC, Tysons West at Route 7 and Spring Hill Road and Wiehle Avenue -- will begin soon. Notices for other pavilion construction will be released at the start dates draw near.
