Putt Putt Closing

The Putt Putt Fun Center/Stars and Stripes Grill is closing on Oct. 31. A result of the economy? We will keep our thoughts to ourselves on this one. We studied journalism law in college.

Lane Closures/New Traffic Pattern

The new traffic pattern went into effect last night, and we must say it sounded last night as if they were bombing the new traffic pattern into place. Very loud.
Here's the official release. We've corrected the dates. The project was delayed last week because of the torrential rain. This says the lane closures should be over, but sources tell us some are still in place.

WHAT: Weather permitting, a new traffic pattern will be put into place at the MD 24 and MD 924/Tollgate Road temporary intersection which will result in two traffic signals for MD 924/Tollgate Road motorists. The new pattern also will have traffic shifted onto the new ramps from MD 24 to MD 924/Tollgate Road.
To prepare for the new pattern, single-lane closures will be in effect on northbound and southbound MD 24 approaching MD 924. In addition, periodic traffic drags will take place in both directions of MD 24 and on the ramp from southbound Interstate 95 to northbound MD 24. During the traffic drags, police will bring vehicles to a reduced pace prior to the work zone.
WHEN: On MONDAY OCT 11, at approximately 7 p.m., the right lane of southbound MD 24 will be closed. At approximately 8 p.m., the right lane of northbound MD 24 will be closed. Traffic drags will take place throughout the night. Work is anticipated to be complete and the new pattern put into effect by 5 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 12. In the event of inclement weather, the work will take place Wednesday night beginning at 7 p.m.
WHY: The new traffic pattern is being implemented to allow construction of the MD 24 bridge over MD 924 and Tollgate Road as part of the I-95/MD 24 Improvement Project.
