The Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) is paving, patching and sealing cracks on roadways on Veirs Mill Road and the work will impact traffic from Rockville to Wheaton through late June. Roadways in other parts of the County are also being resurfaced, which will cause traffic delays.
Other pavement improvements will include patching on MD 355 (Rockville Pike) from Twinbrook Parkway to MD 911 (First Street) and crack sealing on MD 28 (West Montgomery Avenue) from Quince Orchard Road in Gaithersburg to Hurley Avenue and on MD 28 (Key West and West Montgomery avenues) from Broschart Road to Hurley Avenue.
In mid-April, SHA began resurfacing several sections of MD 586 (Veirs Mill Road) through Rockville, from First Street to the bridge over Rock Creek, and in the Wheaton/Silver Spring areas. Work is being done weeknights, 9 p.m.-5 a.m.
Work on other roads is being done weekdays, 7 a.m.-5 p.m. Some overnight work may be necessary. During work hours, motorists can expect lane shifts and lane closures. Work is expected to be complete by late June, weather permitting, though additional lane closures and work hours may be necessary to keep projects on schedule.
Drivers are advised to slow down in the work zone for the safety of all drivers and the crews working to improve roads. Look for arrow boards, cones and barrels to safely guide motorists through the work zones.
