A long-term road resurfacing project is underway that will bring yet more lane closures to the Rockville Pike.

The $2.3 million safety and resurfacing project, headed up by the Maryland State Highway Administration, is planned for the Rockville Pike between Cedar Croft Drive in Bethesda – just north of Cedar Lane – and Strathmore Avenue in North Bethesda.

SHA crews will resurface the roadway and clean inlets.
