Montgomery County officials are weighing a lawsuit over a mistake that could mean rebuilding large sections of the Silver Spring Transit Center. The error by general contractor Foulger-Pratt and subcontractor Facchina Construction left more than half of the concrete on the second and third levels of the three-story facility either too thick or too thin, said County Council President Roger Berliner. The steel reinforcement bars also lack sufficient concrete coating, intended to protect the structure from weather-related deterioration.

The second level is the planned location of 32 bus bays for buses, while taxis and kiss-and-ride will be on the top level. Access to MARC and Metrorail trains will be available below.
