After two years in low gear, work resumes on Purple Line in Montgomery, Pr. George’s

Work on the Purple Line ground to a halt in 2020 when the prime subcontractor on the New Carrollton-to-Bethesda transit project quit following a lengthy contract dispute with the state. Two years later, workers are back on the job under the auspices of a newly formed conglomerate, Maryland Transit Solutions. The return to work is a significant moment for a project that transit advocates have pined for for decades.
