MD 0085 BUCKEYSTOWN PIKE SOUTH OF ENGLISH MUFFIN WAY TO NORTH OF GROVE ROAD

When will this impact me?

Project Name:

MD 85, Buckeystown Pike

Location of Project:

SOUTH OF ENGLISH MUFFIN WAY TO NORTH OF GROVE ROAD

Description:

Upgrade MD 85 to a multi-lane divided highway from south of English Muffin Way to north of Grove Road (2.40 miles). The project will include 6' bicycle lanes.

Scope:

The MD 85 Phase 1 interchange project is the first of three projects included in the "MD 85 Planning Study". The project includes reconstruction of the existing interchange at MD 85 and I-270, along with roadway improvements to MD 85 between Spectrum Drive and South of Crestwood Boulevard. Phase 2 extends from Spectrum Drive northward to tie-in with the recently-completed improvements near the MD 85/MD 355 intersection. Phase 3 of the Planning Study extends southward from Crestwood Boulevard to English Muffin Way, and includes the replacement of the bridge over Ballenger Creek.

What is under study:

Phase 1 of the project includes upgrading the MD 85 interchange at I-270 and the tie-ins required at Spectrum Drive and Crestwood Boulevard. The interchange design will need to be compatible with long-term improvements proposed as part of the I-270/US 15 Multi-modal Study. The two I-270 bridges over MD 85 will be removed and replaced with a longer, wider structure that can accommodate the additional lanes required on MD 85 to accommodate the design year traffic (2030).
