Bethesda Row sidewalk construction update (Photos)

The reconfigured and upgraded sidewalk along Woodmont Avenue near Bethesda Avenue has been unveiled. Unfortunately, it still doesn't line up properly with the streets it intersects with. While the reconfigured and rerouted Woodmont Avenue is designed to be safer and slow people down, it's no more an aesthetic improvement than the horrid new Woodmont-Leland barricade intersection a block south. However, it does have the Bethesda streetscape standard for its design.

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.

UNFINISHED WISCONSIN AVENUE SIDEWALK PROJECTS CONTINUE TO DRIVE DOWNTOWN BETHESDA RESIDENTS CRAZY (PHOTOS)

I continue to hear many complaints from downtown Bethesda residents regarding the Maryland State Highway Administration's unfinished sidewalk projects on Wisconsin Avenue.

Stay classy, Bethesda

The jagged edge - watch your step!

The work has been going on for months now.  I've seen county contractors do one of these ADA retrofits in 2 days, in contrast.

Don't trip on that currrrrrb!!!

These photos were taken last week.  I can't recall a sidewalk project that was partially finished, and then just abandoned like this.
