The opening of Metro’s Potomac Yard station in Alexandria has been pushed back because the contractor responsible for building it hasn’t met project deadlines, the transit agency said.
“We are frustrated with these developments on the Potomac Yard Station project,” he said in a statement. “We will continue to work as quickly as possible to deliver a high-quality station, and we are doing everything within our power to move the project forward in a safe and responsible way.”
The project is being built by Potomac Yard Constructors, a joint venture of Halmar International and Schiavone Construction Co., two global construction companies. Messages left with the companies late Friday afternoon were not returned.Alexandria Mayor Justin M. Wilson called the delayed station opening a “gut punch,” particularly because Metro did not provide a new opening date for the station.
Wilson said that after that initial delay, Alexandria officials asked to receive more oversight on the project. Since last winter, city workers have shadowed and monitored construction at the new station, he said.
