Weekly Update ~ 5.1.26

Final layer of asphalt planned for Huntridge Circle Park area

On May 4, crews will be placing the final layer of asphalt (called UTACS) along Maryland Pkwy, between Franklin Ave and Bonneville Ave. Watch for intermittent impacts to cross streets and driveways as equipment moves through the area.

Red shared bus/bike lanes for turning only—no parking or through traffic

This week, crews began painting the new shared bus/bike lanes. The lanes are painted red to clearly distinguish them from general purpose lanes. While vehicles may enter these lanes briefly to make turning movements, they are not intended for through traffic or parking.

Safe. Comfortable. Accessible Connections!

Welcome to the Maryland Parkway
Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project.
