Site work and paving for a road / highway in Hagerstown, Maryland. Conceptual plans call for site work for a road / highway; and for paving for a road / highway.

This project will provide crossing improvements based on a priority ranking of all crossings in the County. Improvements will include flattening the approach roadway grades and improving the alignment, installing signs and pavement markings, improving sight distance by removing trees/brush/rock outcroppings, and utility relocations. The railroad study utilizes methodologies set forth in the Railroad Highway Grade Crossing Handbook published by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). In addition to analyzing each intersection for potential collision and sight distance hazards, other factors such as accident records, development potential in the area surrounding the crossing, number of school buses, and the overall condition of the crossing and the surrounding pavement will be taken into account in assessing the need for improvements to the crossing. The first phase of the work will involve installing passive warning devices (signs and pavement markings) to be in compliance with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and FRA. The second phase of work will involve providing road improvements. Some crossings may require installation of active warning devices (flashing lights, automatic gates, etc.). These improvements will be coordinated with the railroad companies. As of July 04, 2022, this project is currently in the FY 2023-2032 CIP .
