Route 90, Route 589 and the Route 50 bridge remain the local transportation priorities for Worcester County officials.
On March 5, the Worcester County Commissioners approved the 2024 Consolidated Transportation Plan letter, which will be sent to the Maryland Department of Transportation to highlight improvements local officials would like to see made on area roads.
“The CTP letter is the county’s request to the Department of Transportation for projects we’d like to see undertaken,” Dallas Baker, the county’s director of public works, said. “Generally the guidelines are to try to isolate projects within State Highway’s right of way or MDOT’s right of way.”
He said the county’s proposed 2024 letter was the same letter that had been sent last year except for one minor change. Baker said the crosswalk at Route 589 and Manklin Creek was removed because it was actively under construction.
“It should be done in the next month or two,” he said.
