Upgrades On 5 Prince George's County Roads May Lead To Road Closures

PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, MD — Five major Prince George's County roads will be resurfaced in a $3 million project that will be completed by late-fall.

The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) will patch, mill (remove the top layer of asphalt), pave and restripe the following roads:

• MD 197 (Collington Road) between US 50 (John Hansen Highway) and MD 450 (Annapolis Road) in Bowie (1.5 miles);
• MD 725 (Marlboro Pike) between MD 202 (Largo Road) and US 301 (Crain Highway) in Upper Marlboro (one-half mile);
• MD 410 (East West Highway) between US 1 (Baltimore Avenue) and the CSX bridge in Hyattsville (one-half mile);
• MD 332 (Central Avenue) between Southern Avenue and MD 214 (Central Avenue) in Capital Heights (one mile); and
• US 212A (Powder Mill Road) between MD 201 (Edmonston Avenue) and US 1 (Baltimore Avenue) in Laurel (one-half mile).

To complete this resurfacing work, crews may need to close lanes in both directions of each road on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and overnight, Sundays through Thursdays, from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. Additional work hours and lane closures may be necessary to expedite all phases of work.

To better prepare for travel and commuting, Maryland drivers can know before they go by calling 511 or visiting www.md511.org for live traffic updates, including construction delays and lane closures.
