Purple Line blasting to begin
Construction is expected to start today at 9:30 a.m. or 1:30 p.m. to remove rock from a shaft to create an additional entrance to the Bethesda Metro station connected to the Purple Line station. Blasting was originally scheduled to start last week but the Purple Line Transit Partners needed additional time to coordinate with the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority. [WTOP]
