Future
The MDSHA is studying improvements for the I-270 corridor between Shady Grove Road and Frederick. Options for improvement include widening the highway to include more lanes with HOV and express toll lanes, as well as initiating rapid bus or light rail service along I-270 between Shady Grove and Clarksburg. In addition, two new interchanges are planned for I-270 in Frederick County. The first planned interchange is with Maryland Route 75 near the Montgomery County border, which would involve extending MD 75 from MD 355 to the interchange with I-270 at a projected cost of $57,300,000. The other planned interchange is with Park Mills Road in Urbana, which has a projected cost of $48,900,000. In Montgomery County, an interchange is proposed with an extension of Watkins Mill Road in Gaithersburg. This proposed interchange, which is being pushed by Montgomery County, has seen $2.4 million in design spending. Funding for this interchange disappeared in September 2008 after the state of Maryland announced it was cutting $1.1 billion that was to go to transportation projects.

Famous quotes containing the word future:
“I have often inquired of myself, what great principle or idea it was that kept this Confederacy so long together. It was not the mere matter of the separation of the colonies from the mother land; but something in that Declaration giving liberty, not alone to the people of this country, but hope to the world for all future time. It was that which gave promise that in due time the weights should be lifted from the shoulders of all men, and that all should have an equal chance.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“Captain Hank Quinlan: C’mon, read my future for me.
Tanya: You haven’t got any.
Captain Hank Quinlan: Hmmm. Whadya mean?
Tanya: Your future is all used up.”
—Orson Welles (1915–1985)
“It is given to few to add the store of knowledge, to strike new springs of thought, or to shape new forms of beauty. But so sure as it is that men live not by bread, but by ideas, so sure is it that the future of the world lies in the hands of those who are able to carry the interpretation of nature a step further than their predecessors.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
