The feasibility analysis is currently underway and has identified two potential alternatives to create new connections:

• Alternative 1: Add rail track that would create a new connection between the Blue and Orange/Silver Lines, or
• Alternative 2: A second Rosslyn Station for a new Blue Line with an underground passageway to the existing Rosslyn station, which would connect to the Orange/Silver Lines with a pedestrian tunnel.
