The realigned segment of Westbard Avenue was reopened to automobile traffic at the intersection of River Road and Brookside Drive in Bethesda yesterday. Formerly the lowest block of Ridgefield Road, the heavily-traveled artery had been closed since early summer 2022. Drivers can once again reach the Westwood Shopping Center and other businesses on Westbard Avenue from River Road without detouring a roundabout way. Still barricaded is the new segment of Westbard between what is being called Brookside Drive and Ridgefield Road. That portion of the new street grid will open to the public on December 1, 2023.

I drove by this afternoon. MCDOT went out of their way to create an one of a kind traffic jigsaw puzzle.
