Light rail project in northern Washington D.C., suburbs, now five years behind its original target, needs more time and money for the team to finish the job. 

Spain-based firms anticipate reaching commercial and financial close on contract for reconstituted P3 project completion in February, with full-scale construction set to begin soon after.

Construction of Maryland’s Purple Line light-rail transit system will continue as scheduled, at least for now, following a federal appeals court ruling that frees Maryland from having to update the project’s environmental studies.
