But that's what's already in the renders, they were saying the overpass isn’t in the renders.

> At Silver Spring, it will be on the top floor of the adjacent transit center, and they plan to construct a new bridge from the purple line station to the Red line, with stairs leading down to the red line platform from above. This overpass isn’t present on the online renderings but I have had it confirmed to me multiple times by people on the purple line team that it is planned.

Wait, that's happening? Awesome! I remember way back before they started construction I provided feedback or answered a survey about the purple line (or maybe just about transfers between the purple line and Metro) and the bridge from the new mezzanine to the top of the transit center was the number one thing I wanted. Even did a really bad photoshop of the station renders and everything. Never got any responses so I doubt it was because of me or anything but still glad to see it is actually happening.

Edit: I found an old email relating to it. I was responding to a WMATA hearing about changes to Metro stations for the Purple Line in late 2017. So not before construction but right after it started.
