Maryland DOT Weighs Three Proposals for Major P3
American Legion Bridge (WUSA9 via YouTube)
The Maryland Department of Transportation has received three proposals from teams composed of private sector firms interested in becoming the developer for major interstate improvement work.
Specifically, the firms are vying for responsibility to oversee predevelopment work on the American Legion Bridge and Interstate 270. The American Legion Bridge carries Interstate 495, known as the Capital Beltway, over the Potomac River between Montgomery County and Fairfax County, Va. I-270 is an auxiliary interstate linking I-495 in Montgomery County and I-70 in Frederick, Md.
MDOT’s plans include constructing a new American Legion Bridge and developing options for reducing traffic congestion along I-270. The projects are part of MDOT’s I-495 and I-270 Public-Private Partnership Program.
