June 12, 2020- Chesapeake Beach, MD-Today, the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) crews are activating new traffic signal along MD 260 (Chesapeake Beach Road) at Harrison Boulevard/Limerick Lane in Calvert County.

Portable variable message signs are in place alerting drivers of the new traffic signal. The new signal will allow eastbound and westbound MD 260 to operate as a single intersection.  MDOT SHA installed an overhead hazard identification beacon along the eastbound MD 260 lanes prior to the intersection along with "SIGNAL AHEAD PREPARE TO STOP WHEN FLASHING" signage.

New geometric improvements include:

  • Changing the northbound Harrison Boulevard lane configuration to provide a through travel lane and a shared through/right turn lane. 
  • Changing the lane configurations in the MD 260 median to provide a dedicated left-turn lane and a shared left turn/through lane on northbound Harrison Boulevard and a shared left turn/through lane on southbound Harrison Boulevard.

MDOT SHA will monitor operations at the intersection and remind motorists to use caution when traveling through the area.  Customers who have questions about this work may contact the MDOT SHA District 5 Office at 410-841-1000 or shadistrict5@mdot.maryland.gov

MDOT SHA works hard to maintain safe traffic mobility in work zones for our crews as well as our customers. Drivers need to stay alert, focus on the road and look for reduced speed limits, narrow driving lanes and highway workers. For a list of all major MDOT SHA projects, go to roads.maryland.gov.
