Thurmont Mayor proposes east end bypass route
Mayor Donald L. Lewis presented an alternate bypass plan at the Town Planning Commission meeting. The east end route would start at the Esso station on U.S. Route 15, skirt the town, and join Route 81 north of Thurmont after passing the Leisner development and Thurmont Elementary School. The plan argues this route avoids central congestion and costly land purchases tied to the original path. Both routes will be presented for consideration.
