Route 40 Upgrade Plans Reported for Braddock Mountain
State Roads Commission may award a contract soon to improve old Route 40 from the Catoctin Country Club to Braddock Mountain. Protests by Braddock residents could fade if the plan preserves Clifton Road mileage while widening westward and easing curves near Old White House and Braddock Springs. Lions Club backs the plan and favors moving the eastbound stop sign at Route 40 40 A to a merging traffic sign.
