Lane Closures Planned For 3 Projects Across Prince George's County

PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, MD — Drivers should expect lane closures starting next week for several pavement improvement projects.

The projects include milling (removing the top layer of asphalt) paving and restriping. All locations are anticipated to be complete by late fall, weather permitting.

Drivers can expect single-lane closures during off-peak hours, weekdays 9 a.m.-3 p.m., and overnights 8 p.m.-5 a.m. Additional lane closures and work hours may be necessary to expedite all phases of work to keep projects on schedule, officials noted.

The projects involve the following stretches of road:

• MD 198 (Sandy Spring Road) between I-95/I-495 (Capital Beltway) to west of Van Dusen Road in Laurel that is scheduled to begin later this month.
• Westbound MD 450 (Annapolis Road) between the Capital Beltway and MD 704 (Martin Luther King, Jr. Highway), a span of nearly three miles, in the Lanham area and is scheduled to begin later this month.
• MD 978B (Old Central Avenue) between Summit Point Boulevard and MD 214 (Central Avenue) in Bowie and will begin later this month.
