County Told To Proceed With Roads
Four Frederick County lawmakers urged County Planner Robert Wirgan to push an outer beltway around Frederick City after a Winchester Hall briefing. State Senator Derr and Delegates Houck Payne and Wirts argued the State Roads Commission has none, noting federal approval for an interchange would be blocked. They endorsed the beltway, though SRC officials warned parts of the plan may not meet criteria.

Frederick Beltway Plan Aims to Ease Through Traffic
Frederick officials discussed Wirgan's outer Beltway idea linking U S 40 and U S 15 north of Frederick. The plan promises eight miles of added through traffic capacity, avoids a sprawling interchange, and requires future upgrades to routes 40 340 355 and 15 as growth pushes toward the outer belt. Local planners see expansion room for the metropolitan area to the Beltway’s edge.
