For Immediate Release: Monday, June 10, 2019

As part of the Bethesda Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) intersection improvement project, Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) is currently overseeing utility relocations that may require intermittent lane closures on MD 185 (Connecticut Ave) at Jones Bridge Road/Kensington Parkway in Montgomery County through the end of 2020.

Lane closures on MD 185 may occur within the project limits on the following days and times:

• Weekdays - 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
• Sunday through Thursday - overnight, 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.

Additional lane closures and work times may be necessary to complete work on schedule.

About the BRAC Project:

This work is part of the ongoing construction to improve the intersection of MD 185 (Connecticut Avenue) and Jones Bridge Road/Kensington Parkway. The west leg and the east leg of Jones Bridge Road will be widened. A third left-turn lane will be added to the west leg of Jones Bridge Road. These changes will improve the intersection of MD 185 (Connecticut Avenue) and Jones Bridge Road/Kensington Parkway and allow more vehicles to travel north onto MD 185.
