MARC to close Laurel station for 10 weeks during reconstruction

A MARC station will close for weeks starting later this month as part of a project to improve pedestrian access at one of Maryland’s oldest commuter rail stations. Starting Aug. 21, Camden Line service will be unavailable at the Laurel station, the 10th-busiest stop on the 42-station system that ferries commuters from the Maryland suburbs to downtown Washington. Service will return Oct. 29, officials said.
