Per Montgomery County: “The $47 million MD 97 (Georgia Avenue) Relocation Project, which includes a new nearly one-mile, two-lane highway with bicycle-compatible shoulders between north of Goldmine Road and south of Holiday Drive that bypasses Brookeville, was formally dedicated recently. The new stretch of road opened in May.
MD 97 functions as a major north-south commuter route between Montgomery and Howard counties. The bypass project included construction of two bridges: one at Meadow Branch stream and another at Reddy Branch stream. It also included two single-lane roundabouts. Construction began in 2018.
Montgomery County contributed $10 million to the project. Other partners included the Town of Brookeville, the Maryland-National Capital Park Planning Commission, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Maryland Historical Trust.
Maryland Lieutenant Governor Aruna Miller joined State Senator Craig J. Zucker, Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administrator William Pines, State and Montgomery County officials and representatives from the Town of Brookeville at the ceremonies. The Brookeville Bypass project was dedicated to former State Senator Karen S. Montgomery and the late Clyde W. Unglesbee.
“Senator Montgomery and Mr. Unglesbee never backed down from their commitment to progress for their communities,” said Lt. Governor Miller. “As a result of their perseverance, the completed Brookville Bypass will serve the people of Brookville for generation after generation. The road to progress is slow, and it is always under construction, but today, we celebrate the completion of a monumental infrastructure project, thanks to the steadfast determination of two extraordinary public servants.”
A resident of Brookeville, Ms. Montgomery served as a State Senator representing Maryland’s 14th District from 2010-16. Prior to that, she was a member of the Maryland House of Delegates from 2002-10. She has been a longtime advocate of the Brookeville Bypass project.
Mr. Unglesbee, who passed away in 2009 at age 89, served as a commissioner to the Town of Brookeville and a life member of the Olney Chamber of Commerce. He was instrumental in getting the bypass on the Olney Master Plan.
