Unless work can be accelerated, the long-delayed light-rail Purple Line has a new projected opening date of mid-2027, according to new project reports.
. As governments have turned to such partnerships to finance expensive infrastructure projects, the Purple Line’s problems have highlighted the tension in government oversight of privately managed construction.Workers are moving underground and overhead water, telecommunications and other utility lines in advance of widening roads to accommodate the light-rail tracks. The work often requires closing traffic lanes and sidewalks.
The delays stem from problems in coordinating among several utilities that have lines attached to the same poles, according to the investors’ technical adviser report, which was based on information from the contractor. In a Nov. 16 presentation to Montgomery County business leaders, Doran Bosso, chief executive for the private concessionaire, said workers moving storm water sewer pipes had recently hit rock beneath Wayne Avenue east of downtown Silver Spring.“It’s slower-going than we’d hoped,” Bosso said, according to a recording of the meeting.
