Construction Projects
The at-grade intersection of Georgia Avenue (Maryland Route 97) and Randolph Road in Glenmont is currently scheduled to be reconfigured as a grade-separated interchange. Construction is scheduled for 2014.
A new roadway to be named the Montrose Parkway will reconfigure a portion of traffic currently handled by Montrose Road and Randolph Road. Its western terminus will be along Montrose Road between I-270 and MD 355, where it will roughly parallel Montrose Road to the south and interchange with MD 355 — replacing the existing intersection of MD 355 with Montrose Road/Randolph Road. To the east, it will continue along a northeasterly alignment and ultimately terminate at MD 586, Veirs Mill Road. The Parkway is being constructed in three phases, with the portion paralleling Montrose Road open to traffic and the two segments to the east of MD 355 now partially open to traffic with the rest of it under construction.

Famous quotes containing the words construction and/or projects:
“Striving toward a goal puts a more pleasing construction on our advance toward death.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“But look what we have built ... low-income projects that become worse centers of delinquency, vandalism and general social hopelessness than the slums they were supposed to replace.... Cultural centers that are unable to support a good bookstore. Civic centers that are avoided by everyone but bums.... Promenades that go from no place to nowhere and have no promenaders. Expressways that eviscerate great cities. This is not the rebuilding of cities. This is the sacking of cities.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
