Caroline County Leaders Push for More Route 404 Improvements

​Caroline County leaders are asking state transportation officials to prioritize several road projects, with a major focus on completing improvements along Route 404.

In a letter to the Maryland Department of Transportation, county commissioners outlined projects they want included in the state’s six-year Consolidated Transportation Program.

Their top priority is completing the final stretch of Route 404 from Harmony Road to Route 16 East. Commissioners say the project remains critical for traffic flow and public safety.

County leaders say Route 404 sees heavy congestion, especially during the summer months as beach traffic increases, putting added pressure on drivers and emergency responders.

Residents have also raised concerns about traffic volume and crashes along the corridor.

In addition to Route 404 improvements, commissioners are also requesting resurfacing and maintenance work on Route 313 and Route 16, along with continued road repairs and intersection safety improvements across Caroline County.

Officials say they plan to continue working with the state to push for transportation upgrades throughout the county.
