4M Training Center...20

Underground utility work continues outside of the Glenridge Operations and Maintenance Facility.

A $2.3 billion contract between the private consortium managing Maryland’s Purple Line project and a new construction team to complete the long-awaited light-rail line has been signed, according to the consortium and the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA).

The deal went into effect April 14 and adds $1.46 billion to the Purple Line’s construction costs — almost 75 percent more than the $1.97 billion the state initially budgeted, bringing the total to $3.4 billion. Approximately $1.1 billion of work was completed before the original contractor quit in fall 2020 after several years of cost disputes with the state.

By reaching “financial close” on the replacement construction contract, funding has been secured, the Washington Post reported, a significant milestone because it allows major work on the stalled 16-mi. project to likely resume this spring.

The Purple Line is designed to provide faster, more reliable east-west transit service than buses in older, auto-dependent suburbs and connect communities with Metro, Amtrak and the MARC commuter rail system. Local governments also are counting on its 21 stations to attract and focus economic development.

When finished, it will be the Washington region’s first direct suburb-to-suburb rail line.

If all goes well during the building phase, the rail line between Bethesda in Montgomery County and New Carrollton in Prince George’s County will begin carrying passengers in fall 2026 — more than four years behind schedule.

According to the Post, officials in Annapolis have attributed the escalating construction costs to changes in the project’s “risk profile” and the pandemic’s effects on insurance rates, labor shortages and materials.

“We are excited to start a new chapter and deliver the Purple Line to Maryland,” said MTA Chief Holly Arnold. “There will be a noticeable increase in construction activity later this spring and summer as this critical project moves forward.”

Many Parties Making Purple Line a Reality

A joint venture known as Maryland Transit Solutions and led by the U.S. subsidiaries of Spanish construction firms Dragados and OHL will execute the construction deal.
