Proposals for I 70 North Up for public vote in Frederick
Three SRC plans for the I-70N corridor were presented to more than 100 Frederick residents. Plan A would rebuild U S 40 into a six lane highway with a new Monocacy River bridge and cloverleaf interchanges at Bartonsville and Samsville roads and Patrick Street, at an estimated $15 018 000. Plan B would build four lanes north of U S 40 with two adaptive lanes, interchanges at Patrick Street crossover and Samsville Road, costing about $15 626 000. Plan B-1 would route north of the ridge between Samsville and East Patrick Street. A do nothing option was deemed incompatible with federal and state plans. Plan A rechannels Long Branch Stream. Plan B would destroy nine homes to avoid stream rechannelization. Authorities warned inflation will push costs to about $30 million by 1976.
