The Spring Street Bridge in downtown Silver Spring will remain closed through the summer as crews continue construction for the Maryland Purple Line.
The bridge was initially scheduled to reopen in January but was previously delayed through spring.
During the extended closure, crews will finish demolishing the bridge abutments and constructing the new bridge, with daytime piling operations and overnight work to accommodate CSX trains.
Traffic detours and Ride On bus route changes implemented when the bridge closed last June will remain in effect.
The Spring Street Bridge in Silver Spring will be closed through summer 2025. During this time, crews will finish the demolition of the bridge abutments and the construction of the new bridge.

This operation will often require overnight work to meet the schedule and to accommodate CSX trains.
