FORT MEADE, MD β Drivers should pay close attention while traveling along MD 175 near Fort Meade now that traffic signals will be upgraded there. As part of the MD 175 intersection improvement project, the current signals will be deactivated and new signals ready to go at Mapes Road and Reece Road this week.
According to the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA), work will be done at the following days and times:
- MD 175 at Mapes Road/Charter Oaks Boulevard: MDOT SHA crews will work on site Thursday, Sept. 26, between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m.
- MD 175 at Reece Road: MDOT SHA crews will work on site overnight between 9 p.m. Thursday night, Sept. 26, and 5 a.m. Friday morning
Local law enforcement and MDOT SHA crews will monitor traffic at the intersections during each operation. The new signals provide support for the new traffic patterns at each intersection. This work is part of the $23.6 million MD 175 project to enhance operations and safety at the two intersections. Drivers are reminded to remain alert for traffic pattern changes and work crews when traveling through the work zone.
