LEONARDTOWN, MD – St. Mary’s County Government’s Department of Public Works & Transportation (DPW&T) will be constructing a new traffic signal at the intersection of Pegg Road and proposed FDR Boulevard, located approximately 500 feet west of the MD 235 and Pegg Road intersection.
Work to install the traffic signal foundations will take place between Monday, March 30, 2026, and Friday, April 3, 2026, from 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. A traffic control plan will be implemented for the duration of this work on Pegg Road, between Spring Valley Drive and MD 235. Travel lanes in each direction may be reduced from 2 lanes to 1 lane of traffic while work is underway.
Message boards and signage will be deployed in the area prior to and during the project to serve as a reminder. Motorists are advised to use caution and follow signage and flagging. Please remain alert to work crews, changing traffic patterns, and equipment and consider alternate travel routes to avoid delays in traffic.
