MORE ON THE

ASPEN HILL WALMART

AND THE ROCKVILLE

FREEWAY BENEFIT

One other point about the proximity of the Walmart site to the long-planned Rockville Freeway interchange 1 1/2 blocks south on Connecticut Avenue, is that this freeway access would allow the 18 wheelers delivering merchandise and groceries to the store to avoid local roads. All truck traffic would be confined to that 1 1/2 block stretch of Connecticut.

Trucks from Virginia and from Baltimore, Pennsylvania, New York, etc. could access the site from I-95 via the Rockville Freeway.

This is an additional benefit to consider by both the county and Walmart as a long term solution to community concerns regarding truck traffic to and from the store.
