New Ride On Route 23 signs installed in Bethesda (Photos)

Restoration of Ride On Route 23 bus service to Westbard Avenue in Bethesda, following a 20-month detour caused by a road realignment project, faced a minor snag. Bus stops on the now-no-longer-extant block of Ridgefield Road, like everything else on that section of the street, had been demolished. This weekend, that problem was resolved with the installation of two new bus stop signs on what Montgomery County is now calling the 5600 block of Brookside Drive, instead of Ridgefield Road. 

The stop that used to be in front of Domino's Pizza in the Westwood Center II mini-mall (also demolished) has been relocated closer to the intersection with River Road. I suspect that is to put it in proximity to the lobby entrance of the future assisted living facility that will be built on the former site of Westwood II and Citgo.
