- MD 261 From 1st. to Old Bayside Rd./ MD 260, Calvert County, MD
- Supervised this project from the preliminary field investigation in October 2004, through the final design stage in February 2007. The total construction cost for this project was approximately $3.5 million. Responsible for the traffic control devices portion valued at $200,000.
- Provided expertise on signing, pavement marking, lighting, and signal design. I assigned responsibilities and due dates, held team meeting with members from other SHA offices and ensured a wide range of requirements, policies and laws were accomplished.
- RELATED MAJOR DEVELOPMENT: MD 261 serves as a “main street” through the town of Chesapeake Beach and as a commuter route providing access to MD 2 and MD 4 via MD 260. The proposed improvements included drainage, intersection modifications, new curb and gutter, sidewalks, boardwalks and landscape that blended with the town’s effort to enhance small town with beach resort community.
- MD 256/ MD 258 Roundabout , Anne Arundel County, MD
- Led this project from the project initiation meeting stage May 2004, through final design stage in November 2005. The total construction cost for this project was approximately $2.5 million. Responsible for the traffic portion valued at $120,000.
- Supplied expertise in signing, pavement marking, and lighting design. Assigned responsibilities and due dates, held team members from another SHA offices and ensured a wide range of requirements, policies and laws were met, this required me to have a working knowledge of the policies and laws governing all aspects of this project.
- This project included a roundabout and geometric improvements.
