Route 32 Widening Project Begins
Lanes will shift on MD 32 during the construction project between Route 108 and Linden Church Road.
From MD SHA: TEMPORARY TRAFFIC PATTERN CHANGES FOR MD 32 WIDENING PROJECT: As part of the MD 32 widening project, the Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) will enact significant traffic pattern changes within the MD 32 Phase I corridor between MD 108 (Clarksville Road) and Linden Church Road.
Starting after the Labor Day holiday, work will occur along MD 32 at Linden Church Road and Broadwater Lane. Crews will close two ramp movements at the MD 32/Linden Church Road interchange:
• Southbound MD 32 ramp onto Linden Church Road exit-ramp: This ramp movement will be closed for two months beginning the first week of September.
• Linden Church Road entrance-ramp onto southbound MD 32: This ramp movement will be temporarily closed for one weekend during the month of September. SHA will provide notification of the dates in advance.
These temporary closures will allow crews to reconstruct these movements with full acceleration and deceleration lanes at the interchange.

Also, in September, crews will use a temporary flagging operation to direct drivers along Broadwater Lane; this daytime-only traffic pattern change will take place south of the Linden Church Road interchange, allowing crews to replace two pipe culverts. Two lanes will remain open for travel outside of work hours.
For questions and/or more information about this project, please contact SHA's District 7 Office at 301-624-8200 or email [email protected]. Maps for both projects are also available online at https://bit.ly/2oFnFsk.
