State Highway Administration working to improve frequently jammed intersection.
Motorists traveling through the intersection of Route 1 and East West Highway may encounter some road-work related delays over the next few months as the Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) works on a $900,000 project to improve the intersection. The SHA will be constructing a new left turn lane on northbound Baltimore Avenue to help increase the number of cars which can move through the intersection. Currently, drivers waiting to turn left at Baltimore Avenue and East West Highway during rush hour often cause backups which can extend for blocks. SHA crews will also be replacing curbs and gutters along southbound Baltimore Avenue, upgrade curb ramps and sidewalks to be compliant with the American Disabilities Act, drainage …

Icy conditions could occur at the onset of the morning rush hour.
The Maryland State Highway Administration strongly urges motorists to avoid traveling early Thursday morning, especially before dawn. "Stay off the roads early [Thursday] morning, so that SHA crews have the opportunity to proactively treat roadways before morning rush hour," SHA Administrator Melinda B. Peters said in a news release. "When you step out and see ice on your doorstep, you can assume that roads will be icy as well. Also remember that conditions can change rapidly within just a few miles, and we ask motorists to remain on guard and exercise extreme caution tonight and tomorrow morning." The SHA warns that those traveling during inclement weather and poor conditions pose a threat to themselves, first responders and other drivers…

Work at the inner loop of the Capital Beltway will begin at Kenilworth Avenue starting Wednesday night.
Three right lanes on the southbound Capital Beltway, or inner loop, at Kenilworth Avenue (Rt. 201) will close Wednesday night and each night through Friday, according to the State Highway Administration (SHA). The highway administration is removing construction equipment from the ongoing bridge project in Greenbelt. The work will begin at 9 p.m. each night and lanes will reopen to traffic by 5 a.m. on the following mornings, weather permitting, SHA reports. On each night, SHA plans to close one right lane at 9 p.m., two at 10 p.m., and three at midnight. SHA tells motorists to stay alert and to look for reduced speed limits, narrow driving lanes, and highway workers. It also asks drivers to slow down and not follow other vehicles too …

The signs will be placed along highways with narrow lanes.
The Maryland State Highway Administration has begun installing signs along some roads in Prince George's and Montgomery counties emphasizing a cyclist's right to use the whole lane, Greater Greater Washington reports. The warnings are designed to clear up a common point of confusion among drivers and riders: whether cyclists should keep to the right edge of a lane and share it with motor vehicles, or whether they may use the full lane. In the case of narrow lanes, the blog notes, Maryland law permits bicycles to ride in the center—which is where the new signage comes in. The SHA installed nine such signs Tuesday along MD-953 in Glenn Dale, according to Greater Greater Washington, with more still to come. Other planned locations in Prince …

At this week's town council worksession, SHA presented a project to increase capacity along northbound Route 1 to begin next summer.
It may get easier to travel along Route 1, if a new State High Administration plan for the roadway gets off the ground. At Monday's Riverdale Park Town Council worksession, Claudine Myers from the Maryland State Highway Administration presented the council and attending residents with SHA's plan to address capacity issues on Route 1 in Riverdale Park. Meyers admitted that the project would not eliminate congestion, but said that it would increase capacity and hopefully alleviate some of the traffic backups that happen at the intersection of Queensbury and Route 1 during rush hour. In order to increase Route 1's capacity, SHA has proposed the construction of an additional left-turn lane on northbound Route 1 approaching MD 410. The new left…
