Construction Update from Pepco Project on Randolph Road and Nebel Street

Here’s the update from Pepco’s construction company
Construction will continue for the White Flint Substation project Mon-Fri with Saturday work as needed for make-up days for weather related events. Flaggers will be on site to direct traffic and work will be covered with steel plates after hours. For moves, deliveries, or any special circumstances during our work hours, please alert me in advance for coordination with our crew.

Randolph Road Micro-Tunnel
The crew will continue working on Randolph Rd. from Parklawn Dr. to Nebel St for the micro- tunnel operation. The traffic control plan will allow East bound traffic only on Randolph Rd. West bound traffic will be detoured down Parklawn Dr. to Rockville Pike-MD-355. Sidewalks on Randolph Rd. will remain open to pedestrians throughout the duration of the micro-tunnel construction.

While working during the permitted hours, flaggers will be posted at every two driveways to help coordinate traffic going to local businesses and three officers are posted to mitigate traffic. “We’re Open” signs have been placed in front of all entrances to encourage business patronage during construction. All traffic control measures will remain in place 24/7 until the work is completed.
