SIDEWALK CONSTRUCTION AT WISCONSIN AND MONTGOMERY IN DOWNTOWN BETHESDA (PHOTOS)

Heads up: the MDSHA sidewalk work continues along Wisconsin Avenue, with contractors now starting at the Montgomery Lane intersection.

Watch your step there, as I've seen many a person trip or lose their balance over the many, many months this has dragged along.

AFTER MONTHS OF DELAY, SHA RESUMES WORK ON WISCONSIN AVENUE SIDEWALKS IN BETHESDA (PHOTOS)

One of the biggest complaint-generators in downtown Bethesda this year, has been the Maryland State Highway Administration's bizarre habit of tearing up sidewalks, and then abandoning the mess for months.

It has been a disgrace and embarrassment to leave Bethesda's "main drag," Wisconsin Avenue, in such reprehensible condition. And a tremendous danger to pedestrians.

Finally, SHA contractors are back on site, hopefully to finish the job this time.

SHA EXPANDS CONTROVERSIAL BETHESDA SIDEWALK CONSTRUCTION TO OLD GEORGETOWN ROAD (PHOTOS)

Even as citizen complaints continue regarding dangerously-unfinished sidewalk projects on Wisconsin Avenue, the Maryland State Highway Administration is starting a similar project on Old Georgetown Road at Woodmont Avenue.

One has to wonder why additional ADA retrofit projects are being started, when uneven-surfaced, unfinished projects still await completion elsewhere in town.
