Phase 1 Improvements Planned Between I-95/I-495 and Henson Creek Trail
(October 2, 2025) – The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration will host a public open house from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, October 9, 2025, to provide updates on Phase 1 of the MD 210 (Indian Head Highway) Pedestrian and Bicycle Connectivity Project. The open house will take place in the cafeteria at Oxon Hill High School, 6701 Leyte Drive, Oxon Hill, Prince George’s County.
The MD 210 Pedestrian and Bicycle Connectivity Project is a multi-phase initiative to enhance safety, connectivity and accessibility along the MD 210 corridor for pedestrians and bicyclists. The project builds upon recommendations from the 2022 MD 210 Pedestrian and Bicycle Study, which identified opportunities to improve walking and biking facilities between I-95/I-495 (Capital Beltway) and the southern crossing of MD 210 at Old Fort Road.

Improvements in Phase 1 focus on the segment between the Beltway and the Henson Creek Trail and include a shared-use path, striping and pavement markings on select local and service roads and installation of new and upgraded sidewalks at certain intersections.

Those requiring assistance to participate in the open house, including those requesting language interpretation or accommodations for hearing/speech difficulties, may email
