New Potomac Yard-VT Metrorail station to open Friday.

Alexandria, VA - On Friday, May 19th, the Potomac Yard-VT Metrorail station will finally open beginning with morning Metro service on the Blue and Yellow lines. It is right in-between the Braddock Rd. Metrorail station and the Ronald Reagan National Airport station in Alexandria.

WMATA's Potomac Yard-VT line is what's called an "infill" station, which is where a station is built between existing stations (versus a line expansion such as we saw with the Silver Line extension last November). This opening also comes about a week after Yellow Line service returned along the Potomac. The "VT" part of the name represents proximity to Virginia Tech's Innovation Campus.'>>>
