WHAT IS THE NEW AMERICAN LEGION BRIDGE I-270 TRAFFIC RELIEF PLAN?

Originally introduced by Governor Larry Hogan in 2017, a transportation infrastructure project that leverages private capital to create two congestion-managed lanes in each direction of the Capital Beltway (I-495) and I-270. These lanes will relieve congestion, improve transit services, incentivize carpooling and allow commuters to save time and money.

WHO WE ARE

We are Marylanders, businesses of all sizes, commuters, and community organizations who have had enough of sitting in traffic that is constantly ranked one of the worst in the nation. We are joining together to ensure that Maryland elected officials and decision makers understand how important this project is and how much community support it has.

WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT

Every day countless Marylanders are forced to sit in hours of traffic just to get back and forth from their jobs. And for decades Maryland politicians have done little to nothing to really address it. It doesn’t have to be this way. Other states in the region have figured this out (See Virginia) – their elected officials did what was necessary to get people moving again and out of seemingly endless traffic. Maryland now has a plan – the New American Legion Bridge I-270 Traffic Relief Plan – and it’s time to make sure it gets done.
