(November 24, 2015) - Beginning Monday, November 30 (weather permitting), the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) will begin resurfacing lanes of southbound MD 355 (Rockville Pike) from Locust Hill Road to Cedar Lane/West Cedar Lane. Weather permitting, the work should be complete by mid-December. The resurfacing follows a broken water main that occurred on southbound MD 355 near the Cedar Lane/West Cedar Lane intersection last month.

 

WSSC crews will temporarily close the southbound right turn lane from MD 355 to West Cedar Lane and work behind concrete barrier. The work will create a temporary right turn/through lane on southbound MD 355 adjacent to the closed lane where crews will work behind concrete barrier.

WSSC will also be permitted to close a single southbound lane on MD 355 during off-peak hours, weekdays, between 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and two lanes, overnight, Sunday through Thursday, between 7 p.m. to 5 a.m.

 

Drivers should add extra commute time for the repairs and lane closures while this work is underway.  Visit www.md511.org or call 1-855-466-3511 for updated traffic information. Electronic message signs alerting motorists of the upcoming work are being placed along        MD 355 near the work zone alerting motorists of the pending work.
