Maryland Purple Line Files Temporary Noise Waiver for Spring Street Bridge

Maryland Purple Line officials filed a Temporary Noise Waiver application to support nighttime construction at the Spring Street Bridge site in Silver Spring. The waiver allows construction activities from 7 p. m. to 7 a. m.

, including the installation of bridge abutment foundations, bridge deck work, and concrete placement. Crews initiated pile installation for the bridge abutments earlier this month, marking a significant phase in the project. The Montgomery County Department of Environmental Protection is currently reviewing the application and will accept public comments for a minimum of 10 days. Residents can send their feedback to depnoisewaiver@montgomerycountymd. gov or access related documents on the department's website.

This construction aims to advance the Purple Line project while minimizing daytime noise disturbances. The bridge construction is expected to enhance local transit infrastructure and connectivity. Local officials encourage community engagement in the waiver review process.
