Site work, paving and new construction of a civil project in Hagerstown, Maryland. Conceptual plans call for the construction of a bridge / tunnel; for site work for a bridge / tunnel; for paving for a bridge / tunnel; road / highway; and road / highway.

Mayor and Council have not yet made any decision regarding the funding of the construction of this project. The overall project is the creation of a new street network beyond the current eastern edge of the City. While Washington County government recently completed the initial phases of the street network, another portion of the project is the construction of a new 370' long multi-span bridge over Antietam Creek to the new street network as a means of providing a connection between the Eastern Boulevard corridor and Robinwood Drive area. Design work of this portion of the project commenced in 2015 and is funded by a $1,120,000 grant the county received from MDOT. This connection will prove to be a vital link in the community's transportation system on the eastern side of the City and would help to relieve traffic congestion on US Route 40. A road network will make development of the adjoining land as a bio-tech business park more feasible and, if annexed, create economic development opportunities for the City. Total project cost of just the new streets is estimated at $24.7 million for the entire connection improvements between Eastern Boulevard and Robinwood Drive. If the annexation of land is realized and a Memorandum of Understanding is executed between the City and County, the City's responsibility is the widening and reconstruction of the existing Professional Court to accommodate the construction of a new multi-span bridge over Antietam Creek. Construction of the City's section (if it occurs) will start in 2020 and be completed in 2021. The project is included in the city's 2023-2027 capital improvement plan (CIP). As of August 16, 2022, further details regarding design and construction have not been identified.* *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
