Greenwood Road to Frederick eastern county limits
This study will focus on developing recommendations to address safety needs on Route 7 (Berryville Pike) between Greenwood Road and the Frederick eastern county limits. The corridor has several crash hot spots with issues related to high speeds. The study is intended to assess mid-term to long-term challenges and opportunities and will identify project recommendations that can be advanced for federal, state, and local funding opportunities.
The Phase 1 survey regarding current transportation needs on Route 7 (Berryville Pike) from Greenwood Road to the county line was completed in May 2025. The study team will use the input obtained from the public to better focus on solutions and develop alternatives to address the identified needs.
