Previously announced temporary bus stop location changes in and around the Paul S. Sarbanes Transit Center in Downtown Silver Spring to accommodate construction of the Purple Line and Capital Crescent Trail have been delayed until January.
The construction will necessitate temporary bus route, impacting some Ride On passengers, but that construction will not begin on Dec. 1 as originally announced. Montgomery County’s Department of Transportation will provide detailed information on anticipated Ride On impacts when the start date of construction is confirmed.
For more information about planned road closures and general project information for the Purple Line and Capital Crescent Trail, go to www.purplelinemd.com. Construction updates are available directly at purplelinemd.com/construction/construction-updates.
These temporary modifications are necessary while the Purple Line construction team builds the Purple Line and Capital Crescent Trail bridges across Colesville Road.
The Purple Line will provide a direct connection to the Metrorail Red, Green and Orange Lines. It also will connect to MARC, Amtrak and local bus services.
