This project provides a new roadway between Spencerville Road (MD 198) and the School Access Road in Burtonsville. This roadway will consist of two 12-foot lanes, closed section, for a length of approximately 1,000 linear feet. The project also includes an eight-foot parking lane, curb and gutter, a sidewalk, a sidepath, landscaping, and street lighting. Approximately 400 linear feet of the road has been built by a developer as access to the Burtonsville Town Square Shopping Center.

The roadway and intersection capacities for year 2025 Average Daily Traffic (ADT) for MD 198 is projected to be 40,700 vehicles per day.

Design completed FY23. Land acquisition to be completed in FY25. Construction starts and ends in FY25.

This project implements the recommendations of the Fairland Master Plan. The proposed modifications to MD 198 (US 29 to Old Columbia Pike), which the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) will undertake to correct the high incidence of accidents and improve capacity of the road, will eliminate access off MD 198 to the businesses along the north side of MD 198. The proposed roadway will provide rear access to businesses and will create a more unified and pedestrian-friendly downtown Burtonsville. The project has been developed based on a planning study for Burtonsville Access Road and was called for by the Fairland Master Plan.

Intergovernmental revenue represents WSSC Water's share of water and sewer relocation costs.

A pedestrian impact analysis has been completed for this project.
