Purple Line Light Rail System

  • Home
  • Projects
  • Project Details

OHLA USA is performing the design and construction of a 16.2-mile-long light rail system that will feature 21 stations. The purpose of the $2.3 billion project is to connect neighborhoods, Metro lines, and MARC (Maryland Area Regional Commuter) rail lines in the Baltimore-Washington metro area, and Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor line. It will be the first direct suburb-to-suburb rail line in the Washington, D.C. area.

While supporting community revitalization and transit-oriented development, the Purple Line also will help reduce dependence on auto travel. After service begins, the Purple Line is estimated to take 17,000 vehicles off the road daily.

This is the first light rail project awarded to OHLA USA in the U.S. under a concession model.
