Needwood Road Path to Connect Shady Grove Metro with ICC Trail

For Immediate Release: Tuesday, January 3, 2017

The Montgomery County Department of Transportation’s (MCDOT) Division of Transportation Engineering should be completing a bikepath along Needwood Road this spring. The path extends from the south side of Needwood Drive, from the ICC Trail terminus, to the west side of Lake Needwood.

 

Starting in the fall of 2017, MCDOT will begin construction of Phase II, a nine-month project to continue the path west to Deer Lake Road and east to Muncaster Mill Road (MD 115). On the western end at Deer Lake Road, the path will connect to a trail section completed in 2016 that provides a link from Deer Lake Road to Redland Road, and existing bike facilities west of Redland Road and south along Redland Road to the west side of the Shady Grove Metro Station.

 

In addition, Phase II will provide an 800-foot-long, six-foot-wide sidewalk along the east side of Muncaster Mill Road, from its intersection with Needwood Road to the northern entrance of Colonel Zadok Magruder High School.

 

More information about the project is available online.
