Since October, crews have
completed construction of roadway bus pads—sections of concrete at bus stops
that can support the weight of heavier vehicles like buses—along southbound MD
650. Current crews are constructing upgraded sidewalk ramps, repairing and
replacing curbs and gutters, and installing new traffic light infrastructure
and guardrails. These activities will continue through spring 2016. Other planned improvements will:
- Construct new traffic signals at the intersections of MD 650 and Ruatan Street, Quebec Street and Metzerott Road;
- Resurface traffic lanes and apply new pavement markings; and
- Clean inlets and pipes for better roadway drainage.
Crews may temporarily close one
lane of traffic along northbound MD 650 between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m., and southbound
MD 650 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
