Drivers can expect lane closures as work continues on a $ 2.1 million safety and resurfacing project on MD 28 (East Jefferson Street/Veirs Mill Road) between Monroe Street and MD 911 (First Street) and on MD 355 (Rockville Pike) between MD 28 and MD 911 in Rockville.

Weather permitting; the project should be complete by the end of the year, says the Maryland Department of Transportation’s State Highway Administration. The contractor performed limited work during the winter and is resuming construction with warmer temperatures.

In addition to resurfacing nearly a half mile of pavement on both MD 28 and MD 355, the project includes:

• Upgrading the traffic signal at the MD 355/Dodge Street intersection with LED signals;
• Replacing and repairing sidewalk and driveways to be handicapped-accessible along MD 28 and MD 355
• Installing new concrete curb along MD 28 and MD 355; and
• Cleaning and repairing roadway drainage inlets on MD 28 and MD 355.

To complete the work, crews may temporarily close traffic lanes in both directions on MD 28 and MD 355 on the following days and times:

• MD 28: Sundays through Thursdays, single-lane closures from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and overnight from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.
• MD 355: Sundays through Thursdays, single-lane closures from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and two lanes overnight from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.
