Purple Line station construction set to begin at Silver Spring Library


The Maryland Transit Administration announced that construction of the Purple Line light rail station at the Brigadier General Charles E. McGee Library will begin on or about January 23, 2023. Access to the library itself, and to nearby businesses, will be maintained at all times, the MTA said. ADA-compliant access will be maintained from Wayne Avenue and Fenton Street. 

First, contractors will install safety fencing around the work area. That will be followed by excavation, utility relocation, systems installation, and the laying of track, in that order. Work will be performed between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM on weekdays and weekends, as needed. Construction of the library Purple Line stop is expected to be completed by December 2023, although train service is not expected to begin for several years after that.
