County commits $500,000 to Md 85 1270 plan cost could double
Frederick County commissioners approved a $500,000 CIP line for preliminary engineering of the Md 85 1270 project as SHA officials warned costs could rise from the initial 30 million to about 64 million. The plan, which may involve replacing the Md 85 bridge over Ballenger Creek Pike and the 1 270 interchange, could take at least 6.8 million and two years to complete.

Dry conditions trigger large Maryland brush fires this week
Maryland faced hundreds of acres burned as dry weather and high winds fueled large fires in Allegany and Harford counties while smaller blazes flared in Charles and Somerset. Aberdeen Proving Ground reported over 600 acres torched, helicopters dumping water as drought persists across the state. National Weather Service notes rainfall below average for two months, with October notably dry, and soil tests show a mild drought. State officials consider open burning bans as Garrett and Allegany counties already enact bans amid Westernport fire.
