​Project Details on Display Thursday, September 14, at Information Session. 

(August 31, 2023) – The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration will host a public open house, 6-8 p.m. Thursday, September 14, to share information and answer questions about an intersection improvement project at MD 140 (Baltimore Boulevard) and MD 91 (Emory Road) in Finksburg. The open house will be held at the Finksburg Branch of the Carroll County Public Library, 2265 Old Westminster Pike in Finksburg.

The project, scheduled to begin late 2024, will improve traffic operations and safety for all users traveling from westbound Baltimore Boulevard onto southbound Emory Road. The State Highway Administration is proposing to eliminate left-turn access at the intersection and construct a new turning configuration on westbound Baltimore Boulevard at Michele Brauning Drive. The new configuration will direct motorists to use Michele Brauning Drive to connect to southbound Emory Road.   

The project incorporates bike lanes to promote safer and more accessible multimodal facilities for the community. Additional improvements include a roadway realignment for improved sight lines and turning radius. 

Proposed project at intersection of MD 140 and MD 91​

There will be no formal presentation at the September 14 public open house. Members of the community may stop by anytime, 6-8 p.m., to view information, walk through the display area and meet with project staff. More details on the MD 140/MD 91 project can be found on the project portal page here. Information presented at the public open house will be available on the project page after the event. 

Those requiring assistance to participate in the public open house, such as a need for an interpreter for hearing/speech difficulties or assistance with the English language, may send an email to SHATitleVI@MDOTmaryland.gov. Please indicate the desired language in the subject line. The Maryland Relay Service can assist teletype users at 7-1-1. Any questions about the meetings or general inquiries can be directed to the email above.  ​
