As part of the State Highway Administration's (SHA's) ongoing effort to keep you informed of projects in your area, crews will begin the final phase of a $2 million safety and resurfacing project on a two-mile section of MD 320 (Piney Branch Road) between the DC City line and MD 193 (University Boulevard) beginning this Sunday night, May 6, at 9 p.m.
Weather permitting, the project should be complete late July.
During this phase, SHA will grind (remove top layer of pavement), patch and resurface all lanes of Piney Branch Road, as well as re-stripe the roadway. The project will improve drivability on the heavily traveled corridor of Piney Branch Road between the DC line and MD 193, as well as improve pedestrian access to homes, local businesses, bus stops and churches. On average, 15,000 vehicles travel Piney Branch Road each day.
Through late July, crews will close one lane in both directions of MD 320 at 9 p.m., then two lanes in both directions at 11 p.m. nightly, Sunday through Thursday. All lanes will be open by 5 a.m. daily. Parking restrictions will be in place during construction, so motorists should allow extra time to locate alternate parking. Vehicles will be towed if parked illegally during construction.
