Phase 1 of the Patuxent Park Roadway Reconstruction Project has begun and a public information meeting has been scheduled for Tuesday, July 14 at 6:30 p.m. at the Bay District Volunteer Fire Department Social Hall in Lexington Park to discuss the project.

“This is a significant investment in a traditional neighborhood,” explained County Commissioner President Jack Russell. “Patuxent Park was built in the 1940’s and this subdivision remains a vital neighborhood. These improvements will enhance the quality of life for current and future residents and will preserve and revitalize Patuxent Park as a desirable place to live.”

Improvements to be made for Phase 1 include the reconstruction of roads and sidewalks, installation of a storm drainage system and stormwater management facility, and installation of new water/sewer lines.

Phase 1 improvements include the following roads: Midway Drive (from MD 246 to Bunker Hill Drive), Bunker Hill Drive, Princeton Drive and Gambier Place. The meeting will also discuss project funding and scheduling for subsequent phases of this project.
