​The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) and the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA), in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), are hosting a public meeting for the US 219 Meyersdale, PA to Old Salisbury Road, MD Project. The project is proposing a new 7.5-mile long, four-lane, limited access facility for US 219 from the end of the Meyersdale Bypass in Pennsylvania to the newly constructed portion of US 219 in Maryland.

The purpose of this public meeting is to review the project team's progress since the Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) document and review the proposed alternatives to carry into the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process. Representatives from PennDOT and MDOT SHA will be available to answer questions and receive comments regarding the project. There is no formal presentation. This meeting is an open plan display format, with information boards to review at your own pace. Anyone with knowledge of historic resources in the project area should attend this meeting.

Date/Time:

Thursday, June 23, 2022, from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM
