• Potential for hazardous traffic in Crownsville during Rt 450 construction

  • Start
    20 Oct 2017
  • End
    31 Dec 2017
  • Location
    Crownsville, MD

  Work on 450 will start about early Nov 2017. Complete road closure for cars and bikes only on weekends. 

  Not sure yet what, if any, difficulties/danger will arise for bikes to pass thru the construction site when the road is open during the week. Maybe shoulder restrictions.

  State detour must be routed on State roads only so it will not be routed on St. Stephens Church & Chesterfield as they're County roads. 

  The shortest detour that traffic will naturally and most certainly follow will be St. Stephens Church - Chesterfield - Crownsville. Those roads will become dangerous for bicyclists during the weekend road closure as they're windy, narrow, & hilly. Stay tuned for more details from the SHA Bike Ped Coordinator.
