More #PurpleLineprogress! Top two photos are first pictures I've seen of the underground chamber for the new Red Line entrance that will connect to the Purple Line (and to the street 1 block from me). Bottom two are the Purple Line station, a little farther in than I can see when I walk by.
See #PurpleLineprogress in Bethesda! From breaking ground to a developed connection, the future Bethesda Station and shaft are key milestones in the ongoing transformation of the corridor. Learn more about our construction updates https://ow.ly/e9kn50XNPq8 #MTAPurpleLine

Building the Purple Line means using the right track in the right place. Ballasted track at Bonifant St. supports the rails with stone ballast, while direct fixation track at Silver Spring Aerial Bridge, Manchester Place, & Arliss St. mounts rails to concrete. #PurpleLineProgress
