Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich, Congressman John Sarbanes and County Transportation Director Al Roshdieh joined Brookeville residents to dedicate a new single-span bridge on Gold Mine Road over the Hawlings River. The new bridge expands traffic flow from one to two lanes and will improve pedestrian and bicycle safety by including an eight-foot-wide shared path. The new design alleviates conditions that led to bridge flooding several times a year following heavy rains. The bridge was opened shortly after the dedication ceremonies.
