The 0.3-mile project extends from the bridge over Sligo Creek Parkway to Garland Avenue.

Information:  
The informational meeting will acquaint the public with the project and give attendees an opportunity to inform SHA of their project-related concerns. Maps and other displays will be available for review, and SHA representatives will discuss the project and answer questions about construction. No formal presentation will be given.
