Planners urge county preserve northern Middletown bypass
Frederick County Planning Commission urged the county to commission an alignment study within 10 months to preserve a northern bypass around Middletown. The plan targets a route between U S 40 A west of town and Hollow Road east, amid Brookridge North subdivision. Residents warned that losing the northern route would repeat the southern bypass failure and bring heavy through traffic to Middletown.
