This project provides for the final design and construction of two 11-foot travel lanes for a one mile segment of Goldsboro Road (MD 614) from MacArthur Boulevard to River Road (MD 190), a shared use path along the north side, a 5-foot sidewalk on the south side at selected locations. Where feasible, drainage improvements are included in the scope of the project. The existing pedestrian bridge over Minnehaha Branch on the south side of Goldsboro Road near Wedgewood Road is proposed to be replaced.
