Good news for drivers: starting Labor Day, Monday, September 7, the temporary bus-only lanes on MD 355 (Wisconsin Avenue) will reopen to all vehicle traffic. The Maryland State Highway Administration will begin removing the lanes and associated signage that day, with work continuing through September 11 as crews restripe the road and restore original on-street parking.
These temporary lanes supported free shuttle service between the North Bethesda and Friendship Heights Metro stations during this summer's Red Line construction project, which has now wrapped up. Thanks to everyone for your patience during the shutdown!
