Utility relocation to affect traffic, parking in alley between Ripley St. and Bonifant St. in Silver Spring

Underground utility relocation in the alley connecting Ripley Street and Bonifant Street in downtown Silver Spring is now scheduled to begin October 5, 2021. The project is expected to take two weeks, weather permitting. Work is scheduled to take place between 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM on weekdays during that time, and on weekends if needed. 

Traffic and parking in the alley will be affected by the project. Flaggers will direct traffic through the alley as necessary. No parking will be allowed in the alley for the duration of the project. However, parking garage access, and the rear door, at Solaire 8250 Georgia will be maintained at all times. The work is related to the Purple Line.
