About Loudoun Gateway Station
Loudoun Gateway opened on November 15, 2022 as one of the six new stations added in Silver Line Phase 2. Located between Ashburn (the western terminus) and Washington Dulles International Airport, Loudoun Gateway serves residents and workers in one of the fastest-growing counties in the United States.
The station sits adjacent to Route 606 (Old Ox Road) and provides access to One Loudoun, a major mixed-use development with retail shops, restaurants, a movie theater, and residential units. The Park & Ride garage makes it a popular commuter starting point for those who prefer to avoid the longer drive to Ashburn.
Like all Phase 2 stations, Loudoun Gateway was designed with a modern aesthetic and full ADA accessibility, featuring wide platforms, multiple elevators, and digital wayfinding displays.
