Traffic Alert: Crews Begin Work to Resurface MD 355 in Bethesda

From a news release:

Expect up to two lanes to be closed overnight Sundays through Thursdays through the fall as crews resurface MD 355 (Wisconsin Avenue) from Bradley Lane to MD 187 (Old Georgetown Road) in Bethesda.

Weather permitting, the project should be complete by late fall, state officials said.

Crews said the Maryland State Highway Administration will remove the top layer of pavement, patch, and resurface all traffic lanes and apply new pavement markings to the road.

The project replaces deteriorated pavement in this section of MD 355, used by more than 45,000 vehicles daily. SHA’s contractor for the work is Ardent Company of McLean, VA.

During resurfacing, crews may close up to two lanes of MD 355, overnight on Sundays through Thursdays, between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m.

To date, crews have completed median work and utility relocations for traffic signal upgrades in the area. In addition to resurfacing, crews will pour and set concrete foundations for traffic signal poles, construct sidewalks and sidewalk ramps for Americans with Disability compliance.

Crews may close one lane in both directions of MD 355 to complete this work, weekdays, between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.

The $2.5 million project began last summer.
