    visionHagerstown 2035 5 | Transportation Transportation Introduction An adequate vehicular circulation system is vital for Hagerstown to remain a desirable place to live, work, and visit. Road projects that add highway capacity and new road links will be necessary to meet the Comprehensive Plan’s goals for growth management, economic development, and the downtown. This chapter addresses the City of Hagerstown’s existing transportation system and establishes priorities for improvements to roads, transit, and pedestrian and bicycle facilities over the next 20 years. Goals 1. The city’s transportation network, including roads, transit, and bicycle and pedestrian facilities, will meet the mobility needs of its residents, businesses, and visitors of all ages, abilities, and socioeconomic backgrounds. 2. Transportation projects will support the City’s growth management goals. 3. Long-distance traffic will use major highways to travel around Hagerstown rather than through the city. Issues Addressed by this Element 1. Hagerstown’s transportation network needs to be enhanced to maintain safe and efficient flow of people and goods in and around the city. 2. Hagerstown’s network of major roads is generally complete, with many missing or partially complete segments in the Medium-Range Growth Area. 3. Without upgrades, the existing road network will not be sufficient to accommodate future traffic in and around Hagerstown. 4. Hagerstown’s transportation network needs more alternatives to the automobile, including transit and bicycle facilities and pedestrian opportunities. Existing Transportation Network Known as “Hub City,” Hagerstown has long served as a transportation center, first as a waypoint on the National Road—America’s first Dual Highway (US Route 40) federally funded highway—and later as a railway node.

  • Construction Information About the Sideling Hill Road Cut & Exhibit Center
    FactSheet 17: Construction Information about the Sideling Hill Road Cut & Exhibit Center Compiled from various sources by staffs of the Maryland Geological Survey and the Sideling Hill Exhibit Center. The I-68 roadcut through the crest of Sideling Hill in western Washington County, Maryland, created one of the best geologic exposures in the northeastern United States. Revealing a cross section through a synclinal ridge, this massive cut has proven to be a significant educational and research tool and tourist attraction. Aside from the geology, however, many visitors ask questions about the construction of this road cut and the Sideling Hill Exhibit Center, which has now moved to Hancock, MD. This fact sheet attempts to answer many of those questions. When was this part of the Interstate 68 and the road cut constructed? Excavation began in April 1983, blasting was completed 16 months later in August 1984; the completed highway was opened in August 1985. How deep is the Sideling Hill road cut? The cut is 340 feet deep from the ridge crest to road level. Surface elevation at the ridge crest is about 1,620 feet and at road level about 1,280 feet. Oblique aerial view west toward the roadcut shows Obique view closer to Sideling Hill than the photo at the ridge form of Sideling Hill before construction of left.
