Simulated service testing began operating along the Phase 2 tracks in October 2022. However, WMATA estimated that it could take five months of testing and other preparations before passenger service could begin. ![]() MWAA declared the work on the rail line to be "substantially complete" in November 2021. The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) then announced that the Phase 2 extension should be substantially complete by Labor Day 2021, although MWAA subsequently missed this deadline. In February 2021, Metro announced that it would need five months to test the Phase 2 extension. The opening date was postponed to early 2021, then to late 2021. In August 2019, project officials reported that they expected construction on the second phase of the Silver Line to be completed by mid-2020. Around the same time as this announcement, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) approved the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors' name for the stop. Per officials, the line also had to incorporate improvements to the system's automated train controls that were a late addition to the project's first phase. In April 2015, project officials pushed back the opening date for the station to late 2019, stating that stricter requirements for stormwater management caused much of the delay. On April 25, 2013, the Phase 2 contract was issued at a cost of $1.177 billion. In 2012, the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors voted 5 to 4 to extend the line to Dulles Airport and into the county. The funding and planning of Phase 2 through Dulles Airport continued while Phase 1 was being constructed. It was built in two phases the first phase, linking Washington, D.C., to Wiehle–Reston East, opened in 2014. The Silver Line was developed in the 21st century to link Washington, D.C., by rail to Washington Dulles International Airport and the edge cities of Tysons, Reston, Herndon, and Ashburn.
