Future

The 1951 bridge over the Potomac River between McCoole and Keyser is presently being replaced. Construction on the new bridge, which will be located immediately to the east of the present bridge, began in 2010 and is expected to conclude in 2013. A study is underway concerning upgrading or relocating US 220 between I-68 and the Potomac River. The proposed routing would involve MD 53 between I-68 and Cresaptown, and is part of a larger study of a highway to connect Cumberland with Corridor H near Scherr, West Virginia.

Famous quotes containing the word future:

    “The future is the worst thing about the present.”
    —Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)

    “Imagination places the future world for us either above or below or in reincarnation. We dream of travels throughout the universe: is not the universe within us? We do not know the depths of our spirit. M The mysterious path leads within. In us, or nowhere, lies eternity with its worlds, the past and the future.”
    —Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)

    “If ever the search for a tranquil belief should end,
    The future might stop emerging out of the past,
    Out of what is full of us; yet the search
    And the future emerging out of us seem to be one.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
