Arlington accepts $20.7M for work on new Crystal City Metro entrance design by KGP
Arlington has accepted an additional $20.7 million in federal and state funds as work on the new entrance to the Crystal City Metro station moves forward.
The Arlington County Board approved the hefty appropriation on Saturday. The Federal Transit Administration provided 80% of the funds, while 20% comes from the Virginia Dept. of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT).
The funding supports the addition of an east entrance to the Metro station at the northwest corner of Crystal Drive and 18th Street S. — a project that broke ground in July with expected completion in 2027.
In total, about $53 million in funding for the $146 million project — part of a package of infrastructure upgrades that helped Arlington secure Amazon’s HQ2 — has come from the federal government. Another $30 million is from the DRPT, according to a County Board report.
