Jeff Lemieux of Proteus Bicycles sent along these photos of the extension of the PG Trolley Trail. This is the Hyattsville-Riverdale Park section of the trail from Baltimore Avenue/Route 1 to Queensbury Road. Part of this section was completed some time ago as part of the Hyattsville Arts District, but the rest of the work started in October.
First is the section at Baltimore Avenue.
Then along the railroad tracks farther north where it becomes a railtrail that's also a rail-with-trail.
And finally a shot at the northern end, near the intersection of Rhode Island Avenue and Oliver Street.
Looks like it will have a section of boardwalk.
The two missing Trolley Trail links in College Park ( Old Town and Lakeland) were completed in the summer of 2013.

Most of this new route looks like it will be complete soon - I am guessing by the end of spring if not earlier. Probably depends on temperatures for paving.
Also the Cafritz property construction has begun, with clearing vegetation. This project is supposed to include the last missing link of the trail, but I imagine that's a year or two away from completion. And that's assuming the section south of the Cafritz development (closer to the Riverdale train station) is done at the same time.
