Route 1

In March, work will begin on a new Route 1 interchange in Virginia to handle six additional lanes on the Capital Beltway, while work on a revamped Telegraph Road interchange is to start in April.

In addition, Route 1 is included in the Corridor 1 and 2 alternative studies for the Inter County Connector:

Corridor 1: This corridor follows the general alignment set by Montgomery and Prince George's counties in their master plans. The alternative route extends from I-370/ I-270 near Shady Grove to US 1 south of Laurel. Several alignment options in this corridor will be considered in the vicinity of Rock Creek Park and Pain Branch Park.

Corridor 2: This corridor extends from I-370/ I-270 to I-95/ US 1 south of Laurel. From I-370 to MD 97 (Georgia Ave.), this corridor will be identical to Corridor 1. However, at MD 97, it curves to the east and continues to the north side of MD 198, crossing I-95 near Corridor 1, and terminating at US 1 north of Muirkirk Road.
