The contractor for the Purple Line light-rail project will adjust the traffic pattern on Campus Drive east of Baltimore Avenue (near the Leonardtown apartments), starting on or about March 4 and lasting approximately six months.
This temporary shift will result in a tighter turn for motorists, so stop signs will be added in both directions of travel. See map for details.
Allow additional time for travel through this area as construction continues on the transit project, which will connect Montgomery and Prince George’s counties and provide new transportation options to the campus community.
To find the most up-to-date road closures and detours, visit UMD’s Purple Line website for impacts on campus and the official Purple Line website for impacts beyond campus.
