Relocation Of Montevideo Road Project To Be Discussed Feb. 24

HOWARD COUNTY, MD — A public meeting will be held Feb. 24 at 5 p.m. in the cafeteria at Thomas Viaduct Middle School at 7000 Banbury Drive in Hanover to present plans for a road relocation project in Jessup. This project will complete the relocation of Montevideo Road at a site east of 7650 Port Capital Drive to 7286 Montevideo Road to provide safer access along the relocated Montevideo Road corridor.

The proposed work includes the construction of a closed section roadway with one lane in each direction along with a center turn lane, curb and gutter, and sidewalk on both sides of the roadway. The intersection of US 1 at existing Montevideo Road will be converted to a right-in/right-out configuration to and from northbound US 1. The existing traffic signal on US 1 at the existing Montevideo Road also will be removed. Future access from southbound US 1 to Montevideo Road will be provided by a left turn at the traffic signal at Port Capital Drive. This project has been slated to begin in summer 2022.
