The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration has started construction on a $5.2 million safety and resurfacing project along a 2.76-mile section of MD 650 / New Hampshire Avenue from MD 198/Norbeck Road to MD 200 (Intercounty Connector) in Montgomery County. The project is expected to be completed by next summer, depending upon weather, and will lead to traffic delays throughout the construction period.
In addition to milling and resurfacing the pavement, the work will include:
- Replacing curb and gutters
- Reconstructing sidewalk ramps, driveway entrances and bus stops to meet Americans with Disabilities Act guidelines
- Updating traffic barriers and pavement markings
- Upgrading signage
- Repairing and cleaning drainage systems
During construction, single-lane closures with daytime flagging operations will be in effect along MD 650. Work times may be adjusted pending the project schedule. Contractor Pleasants Construction Inc., of Clarksburg, will perform the work. Learn more about the project
