Topographic and utility surveys have recently been completed on the I-270/NIST Shared-Use Path project that includes design of a new 10-foot wide shared use path between an existing path along the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) frontage on West Diamond Avenue and would extend to Muddy Branch Road near the Festival Shopping Center.
The total length of the project is approximately 1 mile. Per the City of Gaithersburg, “This connection would add another critical bicycle connection around the NIST campus. This path will add to the City’s low stress network, allowing for shortened and safer connections for the community.”
