Route 175 Gets a Facelift in Columbia

While many are sleeping over the next couple of months, MD Route 175 will be getting a makeover.

A 1-mile section of the road will be resurfaced overnight in a $2 million project that starts this week in Columbia, according to the State Highway Administration.

Crews will remove the top layer of asphalt, then resurface and re-stripe Route 175, installing new signage and guardrails between Interstate 95 and Columbia Gateway Drive.

Drivers should anticipate weeknight single and double-lane closures between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m.

Roadwork should be finished by late fall, weather-permitting.

Whether it’s a tree trimming operation or a bridge project, be aware when orange is there—everyone is at risk. Always expect the unexpected, pay extra close attention and drive slowly through any work zone. —State Highway Administration
