The State Highway Administration began the MD 328 Planning and Environmental Linkage study in spring 2023. The review considers environmental, community and economic goals early in the planning stage. The results of the study are considered in the subsequent project development and design phases. This study is anticipated to be completed this summer and will help identify needs and recommend improvements to advance for design.
Preliminary concept maps based on traffic and safety data, results from the 2023 survey and feedback from the December meeting will be available to review at the April 25 open house. A study overview as well as information about existing conditions, environmental features, corridor needs, a proposed study schedule, preliminary findings, recommendations and next steps will be provided. There will be no formal presentation. Project team members will be available to answer study-related questions.
Details on the MD 328 study can be found on the
Project Portal page. Information presented at the open house will be available on the project page after the event. The State Highway Administration is also accepting public input through a survey on the project page.
