MDOT SHA MD 140 at MD 91 Intersection Improvement Project

SHA Open House
September 14^th 6 – 8 PM

Westminster, MD, Wednesday, September 6, 2023 – The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) is scheduled to host a public Open House to review a Maryland Route 140 and 91 Intersection Improvement Project. The Open House is  Thursday, September 14, 2023, from 6 – 8 p.m. at Carroll County Public Library – Finksburg Branch. (This project is different than the Route 91 Bridge Closure Project.)

According to the MDOT SHA website, the agency has initiated a project to improve safety and intersection operations on MD 140 at MD 91 in Finksburg, Carroll County. This project will eliminate left-turn access from westbound MD 140 onto southbound MD 91. A new turning movement will be constructed on westbound MD 140 at Michele Brauning Drive. The new traffic configuration will direct motorists to use Michele Brauning Drive to connect to southbound MD 91. The project also includes new bicycle lanes along MD 140. This project is currently in the design phase with construction expected to start in 2024 and take one year to complete. 

The Open House will provide attendees an opportunity to view design details. Maps and displays will highlight the proposed improvements, and State Highway Administration representatives will be available to listen to feedback and answer project-related questions. This information will be used to improve and advance project development. There will be no formal presentation and attendees may arrive at any time during the open house hours and walk through the display area at their own pace.
