Resurfacing, Other Improvements Will Enhance Safety and Ride Quality
(November 19, 2024) – The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration is beginning construction on a $5.2 million safety and resurfacing project along a 2.76-mile section of MD 650 (New Hampshire Avenue) from MD 198/Norbeck Road to MD 200 (Intercounty Connector) in Montgomery County. Weather permitting, the project is expected to be completed by next summer.
In addition to milling and resurfacing the pavement, the work includes:
- replacing curb and gutters;
- reconstructing sidewalk ramps, driveway entrances and bus stops to meet Americans with Disabilities Act guidelines;
- updating traffic barriers and pavement markings;
- upgrading signage; and
- repairing and cleaning drainage systems.

During construction, single-lane closures with daytime flagging operations will be in effect along MD 650. Work times may be adjusted pending the project schedule. Contractor Pleasants Construction Inc., of Clarksburg, will perform the work. Learn more about the project

The State Highway Administration appreciates customers’ patience during construction as we work to improve Maryland’s transportation system. Drivers are asked to stay alert, stay focused and be aware of reduced speed limits and changing driving patterns in the work zone. Slow down and move over in work zones. It’s the law.
Motorists in need may dial #77 on their mobile devices for roadside assistance.
