Eight Miles of New County Highway Planned This Summer
A plan to build eight miles of highway in the county this summer includes converting two curves on the Emmitsburg road near Lewistown, adding concrete shoulders on the Baltimore state road from New Market through Lisbon for 11 miles, and completing a link from St Anthony's to Motter's Station on the Emmitsburg Railway. Additional projects include a two mile Georgetown pike segment toward Urbana and a two mile link from Middletown toward the National Pike with concrete surfacing. In Montgomery County, work on the Georgetown pike near Henderson's Corner and Clarksburg is advancing with a one mile stretch likely opening soon, while federal aid may cover gaps toward Washington. In Carroll County, contractors begin a three mile road from New Windsor to Union Bridge as part of the Frederick to Westminster corridor.
