When To Avoid Montrose Parkway This Weekend

Where I grew up in the New York metro area, everyone always talks about roads constantly. We all know the best way to get everywhere. As traffic increases in our area, I’ve noticed roads becoming an increasingly important topic of conversation.>Dr. Gridlock at The Washington Post, has always been one of my favorite columns. Today in New section of Montrose Parkway set to open, Robert Thomson announces the opening of eastbound Montrose Parkway between East Jefferson Street and Randolph Road for this weekend:

Drivers coming from the west — from I-270, for example — will travel east along the parkway and pass under Rockville Pike to reach Randolph Road. Meanwhile, drivers heading north on Rockville Pike will find a new ramp leading to Randolph Road.

This is part of the Maryland State Highway Administration’s reconstruction of the Rockville Pike/Montrose Road/Randolph Road junction, and it’s also part of Montgomery County’s Montrose Parkway West project. Ultimately, the Montrose Parkway will link I-270, Rockville Pike and Veirs Mill Road.

He warns us to stay away from 8 PM on Friday until noon Saturday.
