Upgrades Will Be Performed as Part of Preventative Maintenance Projects
The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) is resurfacing five major Prince George’s County roads. The $3 million project will be complete late-fall.
Crews will patch, mill (remove the top layer of asphalt), pave and restripe the following roads:
- MD 197 (Collington Road) between US 50 (John Hansen Highway) and MD 450 (Annapolis Road) in Bowie (1.5 miles);
- MD 725 (Marlboro Pike) between MD 202 (Largo Road) and US 301 (Crain Highway) in Upper Marlboro (one-half mile);
- MD 410 (East West Highway) between US 1 (Baltimore Avenue) and the CSX bridge in Hyattsville (one-half mile);

- US 212A (Powder Mill Road) between MD 201 (Edmonston Avenue) and US 1 (Baltimore Avenue) in Laurel (one-half mile).
To complete this resurfacing work, crews may close lanes in both directions of each road, weekdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and overnight, Sundays through Thursdays, from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. Additional work hours and lane closures may be necessary to expedite all phases of work.
