CC2DCA Design Priorities
On January 15, Arlington County officially launched its public comment period through February 9, 2025 for the design phase of CC2DCA. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to design and deliver an infrastructure project that will define National Landing’s identity for years to come. As the first pedestrian bridge from a major airport to a downtown ‘main street,' CC2DCA is a critical connector that demands a level of design excellence befitting such a transformational project.
The National Landing Business Improvement District is thrilled to share the design priorities of our business community, including conceptual renderings to illustrate key principles to inform the County’s design efforts. By focusing on user experience and delivering an iconic, modern design that fosters civic pride, CC2DCA will not only serve its practical purpose but will exemplify the area's identity as a vibrant and accessible urban hub.

What is CC2DCA?
The Crystal City to National Airport Intermodal Connector (CC2DCA) is a critical piece of the multi-billion-dollar infrastructure investments outlined in the BID’s Mobility Next report. Offering a 1200-foot connection from National Landing’s vibrant downtown to Washington National Airport, MetroRail, commuter rail, and the regional bicycle transportation network, CC2DCA will be the first intermodal hub of its kind. Building off of the BID's 2018 CC2DCA Feasibility Study, this important connection must be economically viable, iconic in design, and connect seamlessly into the existing transportation network.
