Money to widen US 15 through Frederick included in Md. long-term transportation plan

If you’ve driven in or through Frederick, Maryland, you’ve likely encountered congestion on U.S. 15. Now, after years of disappointment, money to widen the road is in the state’s long-term transportation plan. Frederick County and City of Frederick leaders have long sought financial support to widen the 4-mile stretch of U.S. 15, stretching from Liberty Road — also known as Md. 26 — at the north, down to Interstate 70, at the point where U.S. 15 heads to Loudoun County, Virginia, and West Virginia.
