Defining Your Resources
The State Highway Administration (SHA) has just received resource agency concurrence upon its Purpose and Need and is proceeding with preliminary transportation improvement studies for the upgrade of MD 998 which includes improvements to the existing MD 998/MD 999 intersection. The SHA is currently studying an upgrade of existing MD 998 along with a bypass alternative. The following information regarding your project study area is shown on the following graphics:

• Existing Land Use
• Future Land Use
• Environmental Resources

The County Master Plan for the project study area identifies a highway bypass of MD 998. This bypass would include an interchange with MD 999. The potential location of the highway bypass is included within the direct study area boundary highlighted on the Future Land Use Map. In the professional opinion of the County Planning Department, the future land use plan would only be attained if a highway bypass were constructed.
