Slow But Sure State Roads Projects Lag in Frederick County
The State Roads Commission has only one of five promised projects for Frederick County under contract. District engineer Thomas G. Mohler said all five will be under contract by year’s end, with progress on U.S. 340 and Md. 550 reduced to a single lane after earlier objections by county officials. Two Md. 75 sections, including the New Market bypass to Central Church Road, have not begun, with bids planned for late spring or early summer.
