10-25-10 – Construction on Phase V of Three Notch Trail Continues to Move Forward

Construction continues to move forward on Phase V of the Three Notch Trail.  This phase runs from John Baggett Park at Laurel Grove to MD Route 5 at the Gospel Light Baptist Church, for a distance of about 3 miles. It is anticipated that the trail will be completed and open for use by summer 2011.

Most of the initial earthwork is complete and the majority of the trail has received the first coat of asphalt. The contractor is working on storm water management controls and seeding of grass areas.

Please note that this section of trail is not open for use until the construction is complete. The Department will issue a media release and hold a grand opening ceremony when the project is finished. R&P thanks all citizens for their patience during the construction period!
