Metro’s new Silver Line will be the first public transportation link between the National Air and Space Museum’s locations in D.C. and northern Virginia. When Silver Line launches July 26, Fairfax County will begin running a bus from Metro’s Wiehle-Reston East station to the Smithsonian’s Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia. The Fairfax Connector Route 983 will run every 20 minutes. It will also stop near the National Air and Space Museum on the National Mall at the L’Enfant Plaza station. Museum Director J.R. “Jack” Dailey says bridging the 28-mile distance between the two locations will help the museum serve more people.
