The project includes the design and construction of the Route 772 Transit Connector Bridge (B693) across the Dulles Greenway and Metro Center Drive extension from Devon Shafron Drive to a roundabout at the intersection of Metro Center Drive and Moorefield Boulevard.

The project also includes the design and construction of Moorefield Blvd. from the roundabout to its intersection with Croson Lane.

The intended purpose of the project is to link the proposed parking garages and station entrances under construction to serve the planned Route 772 Silver Line Metro Station located immediately north of the proposed Route 772 Bridge. The project provides critical infrastructure to the future Route 772 Silver Line Metro Station.
