WOODMONT AVENUE REOPENING PUSHED BACK A WEEK IN BETHESDA

Woodmont Avenue south of Bethesda Avenue will now reopen a week later than expected, Montgomery County Department of Transportation Community Relations Manager Tom Pogue said in MyMCMedia report Friday. Pogue said August 22 is the new target date, but gave the standard "on or about" qualification. The street will be only 2 lanes. Lane striping was added Friday, but no bike lanes are yet designated. 

Pogue also confirmed that this segment of Woodmont will remain closed to pedestrians, despite a county law requiring sidewalks to remain open along construction sites.

How are they able to get away with not allowing pedestrians if there's a law requiring sidewalks be open? People are going to walk on that road whether they allow it or not and i hate to be the one to say it but someone will get hurt

Because this construction project has been able to get away with doing what ever suits them, especially where traffic is concerned. The closing of Leland, Miller, and no pedestrian walkways along Bethesda Ave just to name a few.
