The Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA), in cooperation with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), invites the public to attend an informational workshop for the US 219 Project Planning Study.

Tuesday, Sept. 23, 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.
No formal presentation will be given. You may arrive at any time during the workshop hours.
WHERE:

WHY:
SHA, in cooperation with PennDOT, recently reinstated the US 219 Project Planning Study. The study concerns a number of needs along the US 219 corridor between I-68 in Garrett County and Meyersdale, Pa. These include improving economic development potential, increasing safety, reducing congestion and improving connectivity between I-68, the four-lane section of US 219, and the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
The workshop will provide information on the study’s purpose and need, the alternatives under consideration, and a summary of the environmental, traffic, and other analyses completed to date. Maps and other exhibits will be on display, and project team members will be available to answer project-related questions and receive comments.
