The Purple Line is back on track. What does that mean for the NCCC neighborhood? When will work resume? What can we expect in terms of road closures and detours? What is the schedule for construction of the Jones Mill Road underpass and pedestrian bridge over Connecticut Avenue? Join Matt Pollack, executive director for the Purple Line, for answers to these questions and your own.
