A temporary traffic shift on Georgia Avenue (MD 97) between Silver Spring Avenue and Wayne Avenue (MD 594) will be in place until January 2025 due to construction related to the Purple Line. Work will typically occur from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. but may continue nights and weekends, as necessary.

Travel will be reduced to two lanes in either direction and shift to the west around the work zone at Bonifant Street. The traffic shift will facilitate utility and track installation across Georgia Avenue. Pedestrian detours will be in place around the work zone. Access to businesses will be maintained and some parking will remain on Georgia Avenue.
