​Project Team to Present Revised Concept Based on Public Feedback 

(May 9, 2024) – The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration will host a public open house, 5-7 p.m., Thursday, May 16, for an improvement project along US 1 (Belair Road) from the Baltimore City line to I-695 in Overlea. The open house will be held at the Fullerton Community Center, 7209 Belair Road, Baltimore County.

The State Highway Administration is revising a previous concept focused primarily on traffic operations based on feedback gathered at a listening session with State Highway Administration representatives, local officials and citizens. SHA is developing a new concept to improve safety, connectivity and accessibility for all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists and transit users along the corridor.

State Highway Administration representatives will be on hand to answer project-related questions and listen to your feedback. The public is encouraged to attend any time between 5-7 p.m. More details on the US 1 project can be found on the Project Portal page here.
