MDOT and consultants present 'button hook' as preferred fix for 371/210 intersection

May 21, 2025

MDOT and WSB presented a preferred 'button hook' design for the 371/210 interchange that would add an elevated bridge, six roundabouts and frontage roads to separate local traffic from the trunk highway; presenters said the option scored well on safety and access but may affect some commercial properties and will require municipal consent and local funds for enhancements.
