US 301 congestion and funding

Bowie

Summary

US 301 was largely dropped from the draft priority list because there are no active projects in the city, but councilmembers pushed hard to get it back on. Direction was given to pursue a joint state-county-city conversation, follow up on the federal grant, and reach direct county/SHA contacts.

Impact analysis

💰Financial impact

A full US 301 widening was estimated at roughly $4 billion by state highway officials, so funding remains the central obstacle.

✅Who benefits

Commuters and Bowie residents stuck in daily 301 congestion, plus residents of Mill Branch and South Lake developments.
