Georgia Ave & Randolph Rd Intersection
On September 30, 2014, SHA (Maryland's State Highway Administration) had an information session at Kennedy High School about progress on improving the intersection of Georgia Avenue and Randolph Road.
Anyone who drives through that intersection is aware of how necessary it is to improve it. To do so, the ultimate plan is a tunnel for Randolph Road under Georgia Avenue and other improvements. And to accomplish that goal, SHA will move both Georgia Avenue and Randolph Road for about 3 years.
SHA said its plan is that starting in January 2015 Georgia Avenue will be moved to the east and Randolph Road will be moved to the south around this intersection, to allow them to build the Randolph Road tunnel. They plan to complete that and return the two roads to where they are now in 2017.
Thanks for the great post, Paul. As you know, that intersection was one of the issues that drove (or "gridlocked") me to become a Delegate. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0-hhUt4mm0.The road to allocating the funds was not easy, and the fruits of the labor of the scores moving this project forward won't be seen for a few years. After that, I look forward to when we can all take for granted that travelling through Glenmont will be much, much easier.
