Work resuming on Purple Line bridges over Rock Creek in Silver Spring this week

The new construction contractor for the Purple Line light rail project is restarting operations on the new transit line between Bethesda and New Carrollton this week. In Silver Spring, that will include resuming work on the bridge that will carry trains over Rock Creek. A second span will carry the Capital Crescent Trail. No trail closures are anticipated, but workers will direct pedestrians around construction activity as needed. So just be aware of this if you are hiking through Rock Creek Park in the vicinity of the Capital Crescent Trail.
