Silver Spring Transit Center Purple Line construction update (Photos)

There are now 400 workers building the Purple Line light rail system at 60 different construction sites between Bethesda and New Carrollton, according to the Maryland Transit Administration. Here we are taking a closer look at one of them, the Silver Spring Transit Center in downtown Silver Spring. The major component being worked on here at the moment, is a new mezzanine connecting the Metro subway platform to the Silver Spring Transit Center. MTA says this will improve connections between the future Purple Line station, Metro, MARC, Metrobus and Ride On services.
