Construction Week

摘要

Maryland has put elements of the Purple Line light-rail project on hold while it appeals a legal ruling that has delayed the $5.6-billion public-private venture for nearly a year. On May 31, Transportation Secretary Pete K. Rahm directed the Fluor Corp.-led Purple Line Transit Partners consortium to suspend execution of new construction contracts and purchases of nonessential materials and equipment. A hiring freeze also was ordered for both contractor and state oversight personnel.
