Miles SmithMaryland is set to invest $143.2 million to improve nearly 3,400 miles of roadway and make travel safer for drivers when fiscal year 2026 begins on July 1.
The planned improvements — which include addressing potholes and resurfacing major corridors — are part of the state’s $21 billion six-year capital improvement plan and will be paid for with state and federal funding.
Work will also include new pavement markings and lane striping. The Maryland Department of Transportation anticipates these roadway projects will improve safety, reduce vehicle wear and support long-term economic growth.
Road improvements will include:
- MD 144 (Frederick Road) between I-695 (Baltimore Beltway) and the Baltimore/Howard County line in Baltimore County.
- MD 45 (York Road) between the Towson Roundabout and Newell Avenue near Towson University in Baltimore County.
- MD 210 (Piscataway Highway) between Seneca Drive and the Washington D.C. line in Prince George’s County.
- MD 272 (North East Road) between Rogers Road and Lums Road in Cecil County.
- Southbound US 50/US 13 (Salisbury Bypass) between MD 12 (Snow Hill Road) and Stockyard Road in Wicomico County.
- MD 17 between Myersville and Middletown in Frederick County.
- MD 32 between MD 144 (Frederick Road) and MD 99 (Old Frederick Road) in Howard County.
- MD 36 (New George’s Creek Road SW) between Church Street and MD 55 (Vale Summit Road) in Allegany County.
