The Maryland State Highway Administration says it plans to route traffic on Randolph Road onto the new lanes that pass underneath Georgia Avenue this weekend for the first time. Drivers on Randolph who wish to turn onto Georgia, or reach the Glenmont Shopping Center, will use the left and right turning lanes on either side of the new Randolph Road through-lanes. The switchover will begin around 6:00 AM Saturday, February 17, 2018, and is expected to be complete by 7:00 PM.
Because traffic signal changes and new paint are among the many tasks that are to be completed, police will be guiding traffic throughout the day Saturday. Best advice for drivers - if you can - is to take an alternative route like Connecticut Avenue (north-to-south) or a creative workaround going west-east (the unbuilt Rockville Freeway would have come in handy Saturday...).

ReplyDeleteWhat is the threshold for reporting? We should file a complaint with NBC for showing taped coverage of the Olympics because it becomes irrelevant to everyone after the fact. If it's not live, it doesn't matter and I want everyone here to know that. Who's with me!!
DeleteKorea's time zone is 12 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time, meaning that many Olympic events are happening between midnight and 6 AM in Maryland. It's rather silly to compare re-broadcasting those events a few hours later, when American viewers are awake, to reporting this local story several days late.
DeleteI'd think they'd delay w/the snow tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteGood to know this is happening!

9:13: Nice try - I went over the whole SHA website, and there was no press release there as of the time my article was posted. SHA also did not alert the media in any active way. Listing something on a project schedule on the back pages of a government website is not a media alert. More like a tree falling in the forest. A government official handing the announcement off to a glossy magazine for political reasons is not a public announcement. PR 101.

Fairfax Police have now identified the dead male found beaten to death on Jeb Stuart Square as Mathew Brian Ortega. The brutal slaying has the earmarks of another MS-13 murder as Northern Virginia is awash in illegal alien criminal gangs from Central America. With violence and murders becoming commonplace; Barack Obama wanted a legacy, he’s got one.
