As part of the project to extend the Metrorail to Dulles International Airport, there is an explosion scheduled for 1:00pm. This explosion is designed to test the 'structural integrity of a caisson near the interchange between Dolley Madison Boulevard and the Dulles Connector Road.'
Understandably, we folks who live outside of Washington D.C. are somewhat sensitive to out-of-the-ordinary occurrences, so I thought I would try to get this information out to as many people as I could.
For more information, read the article published today in the Washington Post.

Yes now days we need to be informed when the out of the ordinary occurs in the area.
Holly, after all these years I can't believe they are actually going to extend the Metro out to Dulles. Thanks for the info.
This sounds like the kind of thing that would be fun to watch if there's a safe place to do so.
Wow! I hope this was all over the news or I'll bet there were some anxious folks with all the terrorism scares.
Yes, you need to get the word out...did you put this on FB and twitter.
