Judge Stops Rockville Highway Work

Maryland's State Highway Administration planned to construct a 2,500-foot noise barrier along northbound Interstate-270 in Rockville, but work has been stopped by a Montgomery County judge.

The court denied attempts for preliminary testing at Woodley Gardens Shopping Center because it would have been “highly intrusive,” The Washington Post reports.

According to the news outlet, the noise barrier would benefit 34 homes and Woodley Gardens Park. Agency spokesman David Buck said no decision has been made in regards to appealing the decision.
