2011 Master Plan of Highways Update
Transportation planners are reviewing and revising the county's Master Plan of Highways, an effort that classifies each Montgomery County road, in the first comprehensive update to the transportation network plan since 1955.
The Planning Board approved the Master Plan of Highways Scope of Work in November 2009, officially starting the plan.
At the end of a 12- or 14-month process, the new plan will update the road network with current classifications, incorporate road changes, and align it with the County Road Code, which was comprehensively updated in 2007. The update will consolidate all roadway amendments that have been approved as part of Master Plans as well as limited functional Master Plan of Highways amendments. Read the press release.
Geography
The plan will encompass the entire County, less the seven municipalities that have their own planning authority: Rockville, Gaithersburg, Laytonsville, Brookeville, Poolesville, Washington Grove, and Barnesville.
