The goal of the project is to improve traffic operations, pedestrian access and bicycle connections along MD 3 while ensuring safety for all users.  

The project is funded for design and is expected to reach the 65% design completion milestone by summer 2025. The scope of the project includes increasing capacity to three through lanes on both northbound and southbound MD 3, constructing additional right-turn lanes, constructing a 10-foot-wide shared-use path, reconstructing existing driveway entrances and improving drainage and stormwater management.  

There will be no formal presentation. Attendees may arrive any time during the open house to view maps and displays that highlight the latest designs for proposed improvements. State Highway Administration representatives will be available to answer project-related questions and listen to feedback. More information about the MD 3 from MD 175 to Waugh Chapel Road Improvement Project can be found on the Project Portal page.  

Those requiring assistance to participate in the public open house, such as those seeking an interpreter for hearing/speech difficulties or assistance with the English language, may email SHATitleVI@mdot.maryland.gov before the event. Please indicate the desired language in the subject line. Maryland Relay Service can assist teletype users at 7-1-1.
