Clarksburg to Mongomery Village Transportation Study

a<>

The Montgomery Village to Clarksburg Study will analyze current and future travel patterns in this area of the county and will identify any transportation deficiencies, and work with the Montgomery County Department of Transportation to determine what improvements are practical and when they could be implemented. The study, launched in 2026, is technical in nature and is not a formal planning or policy effort. The results will help determine what transportation modes and solutions are most needed along the corridor and guide future decisions to improve connectivity for residents.

The study was a recommendation from the 2025 technical update to the Master Plan of Highways and Transitways. The plan removed the unbuilt northern extension of Midcounty Highway (M-83) from the plan. As a result, the County Council tasked planners with conducting this comprehensive study of travel needs from Clarksburg to Montgomery Village to determine whether there is sufficient master-planned transportation capacity to accommodate planned development, as well as the feasibility and timeline of implementing planned and existing master-planned transportation improvements.

The study is scheduled be completed by spring 2027.
