The proposed project provides a six-lane 1.3 mile roadway facility in southwestern Baltimore County, Maryland. Included in the facility is a bridge providing a grade separated structure at the main line of the Penn Central Railroad. This bridge will allow for the closing of a dangerous grade crossing of the Penn Central tracks at a point where the high speed Metroliner passes. The acquisition of between 2 and 25 residences will be required depending upon alternate chosen. With proper erosion control procedures no long term adverse effect is expected on water quality, and only minimal increases in stream turbidity will exist during construction. Air and noise pollution will be well below established standards. With the diversion of traffic from local streets, some reduction in noise and air pollution will be experienced within residential areas. The elimination of the dangerous Penn Central Railroad grade crossing and the provision of much needed access to the local industrial community are direct benefits of the facility.
