Intersection of realigned Westbard Avenue & River Road to reopen Friday in Bethesda
The intersection of the new, realigned Westbard Avenue, River Road and Brookside Drive is now scheduled to reopen to vehicular traffic tomorrow, Friday, November 17, 2023. It is expected to reopen at or before 4:00 PM, to be coordinated with activation of the new traffic signals. The other part of the road grid that has been closed since summer 2022 - Ridgefield Road at Westbard Avenue - will reopen to traffic on December 1, 2023. The staggered reopening is designed to allow drivers to adjust to the new street grid without cutting through the adjacent neighborhood, Westbard Square developer Regency Centers said this morning.
So we'll be able to drive to Giant as of tomorrow, from River Road?
