Construction thunders on in Bethesda on the Purple Line project and as they make way for the station in Bethesda, the old right of way for the Georgetown Branch is unearthed for probably the last time. The buildings above the right of way were demolished, and now grading is complete. They’ve dug down a bit further than the original right of way, but it’s as good as it will get. Take a look at the photo below. You can just make out the concrete bridge carrying Wisconsin Ave over the old RoW at the bottom of the photo. The large angled pilings in the bottom right cover the RoW and it curves over toward those red awnings in the distance. Can you see it?!
They got rid of the dirt ramp on the right, created a dirt ramp on the left, and made something that kind of looks like a helicopter pad #PurpleLine #Bethesda @FourCornersSean pic.twitter.com/jTRhG6qUBn

For all the hell this project is putting us native Chevy Chasians and Bethesdians through, this Purple Line had really better be something else!
