Rosedale Streetscape Project

Car transport drivers using the transport roads of the community of Rosedale in Baltimore, Maryland as a route to help them move around the country should be aware that the Maryland State Highway Administration currently has road construction crews working in the area and traffic flows could be reduced during construction.

At the moment M. Luis Construction Company of Baltimore is at work enhancing traffic safety and operations, and making the 2.25 mile section of roadway between US 40 (Pulaski Highway) and Maryland Highway 588 (Golden Ring Road) look prettier for tourists and commuters that travel along this route.

Called the Rosedale Streetscape Project, this project includes widening the roadway; grinding, repairing and resurfacing of the street, the construction of walkways and pedestrian ramps suitable for disabled Americans to use to get around, and the installation of new curbs and gutters. At the same time they’ll make improvements to the drainage systems, built small retaining walls, and improve the traffic signal system. The last things they’ll do are to put in new pavement markings, remove a few trees and put in new ones, before making the area all green.

Construction of this project that began in 2007 is expected to come in at about $11 million, but they still have work to do and won’t be completed until sometime in 2010. The amount of construction that work crews can do relies on the weather and we are talking about Maryland, so road construction is often interrupted due to weather conditions.

Once they get this project finished though the area will look a lot better and it should help relieve traffic congestion in the area and improve safety for travellers on the road.
