A top Alexandria official expects Metro to award a contract before mid-year for the $268 million Potomac Yard Metro station, with the hope of opening the long-awaited facility within about four years.
"Proposals were accepted last year, and they are being worked through, and we would expect a contract award some time this spring," Alexandria City Manager Mark Jinks said Friday, adding he believes the rail station will open to passengers by the end of 2021 or early 2022.
