Ashburn station (Washington Metro)

Ashburn is a planned Washington Metro station in Loudoun County, Virginia, United States, on the Silver Line. Originally planned to begin operation in 2018, the station is now planned to open in early 2022. Ashburn will be the western terminus of the line; the current western terminus is Wiehle–Reston East station, which opened with phase one of the Silver Line in July 2014.
In April 2015, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority approved the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors' name for the stop.
Ashburn station is located at the median of the Dulles Greenway (SR 267) east of Old Ryan Road (SR 772). It will be the furthest station from the Washington city center, and the closest to West Virginia, being only by road from Keyes Gap.
Station layout.
The station will have two pedestrian bridges leading to either side of the Dulles Greenway, with bus bays and kiss and ride lots on both sides, as well as 1,650 parking spaces on each side. Bicycle racks are planned for both sides of the highway and five bike lockers are planned for the north entrance.
Construction delays.
In April 2009, Dulles Corridor Metrorail Project officials projected that Phase 2 of the Silver Line, including Ashburn Station, would open in 2016.
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. 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 August 2019, project officials reported that they expected construction on the second phase of the Silver Line to be done by April 17, 2020, and service to begin for riders by July 16. MWAA stated that service should be able to begin within two weeks of the July 16 projection "unless unexpected problems develop."
In February 2020, project officials projected that station would open in the spring of 2021.
In December 2020, Metro executive vice president of capital delivery Laura Mason projected that the station would open in the fall of 2021, but warned that there is a lot of uncertainly even about that date.
On February 11, 2021, Metro announced that it would need five months to test the Phase 2 extension of the Silver Line after construction was substantially completed by MWAA, extending the previously announced testing timeline of 90 days. 
On March 5, 2021, the MWAA announced that substantial completion of the Phase 2 extension should be complete by Labor Day. Metro general manager Paul Wiedefeld said in a statement, “Today’s announcement enables Metro to begin planning and budgeting for the start of service in early 2022.”
