SILVER SPRING, MD—This week, the Montgomery County Department of Public Works and Transportation (DPWT) in cooperation with the Montgomery County Department of Parks, part of the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC) began reconstructing the section of Sligo Creek Parkway from New Hampshire Avenue to Maple Avenue in Takoma Park. The project includes:
Milling areas along existing curb and at tie in points to side streets to provide a smooth transition;
Full depth patching of deteriorated sections of the roadway; and
Placing two inches of new surface asphalt on the road and new reflective striping, including yellow centerlines, white road edge lines and white crosswalks.
New signage and marking will also be included on Sligo Creek Parkway by DPWT, as recommended in the 2002 M-NCPPC pedestrian safety traffic study.
For more on the Sligo Creek Parkway project, contact DPWT Construction Supervisor Donald Noble at 240-777-6000.
