The U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration (FTA) awarded a $2,000,000 Community Project Funding Congressionally Directed Spending (CFDA 20.534) grant to Montgomery County, Maryland. This funding will support the construction of a new south entrance to the Bethesda Metrorail Station as part of the larger Purple Line project. The new entrance will provide improved access to the Purple Line for Montgomery County transit users, reducing congestion at the existing station entrance. It will also eliminate the need for a two-block walk for passengers transferring between the WMATA Red Line and the Purple Line. The project is expected to be completed by November 30, 2027. Montgomery County, as the sole recipient, will be responsible for executing the construction activities and managing the grant funding.
