Press Releases - Department of Transportation

For Immediate Release: Thursday, June 1, 2023

Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) will hold a virtual public hearing on the proposed replacement of Redland Road Bridge (M-0056) over Mill Creek in Derwood on Wednesday, June 7, at 6:30 p.m. Members of the public are encouraged to provide oral or written comments.

This project provides for the replacement of the existing bridge (M-0056) on Redland Road over Mill Creek. The existing single-span concrete slab bridge will be removed and replaced with a new prestressed concrete box beam superstructure, precast concrete abutments and wing walls. The new superstructure will be constructed in the same location using accelerated bridge construction techniques to minimize the disruption to the traveling public and local community. This project will also include roadway work at each end of the bridge to tie-in to the existing roadway, as well as stream restoration for, both the upstream and downstream sections of, Mill Creek.

Online registration is required to attend. The hearing will be broadcast live via Zoom, and the link will be provided via email upon registration. To attend the hearing or sign up to testify, visit the project website at montgomerycountymd.gov/dot-dte/projects/RedlandRoadbridge.

Project files will be made available for review prior to the hearing on the project website under Project Documents on Thursday, June 1.

Written comments or questions may be submitted to the Project Manager, Angel Cheng by Online Comment Form or email to [email protected]. Written testimony carries the same weight as oral testimony.

Interpreter services will be provided upon request with five business days advance notice.
