Project Description:

Per the project Statement of Work (SOW), Venona Road, located at Fort George G. Meade, Maryland, will be upgraded to a four-lane roadway, extending eastward and northward from the intersection of O’Brien Road, Samford Road, and Venona Road to south of Ultra Avenue. The new lanes will be south and east of the existing alignment, and feature a grassy median with access lanes.

Project elements: Addition of two lanes to Venona Road, retention walls (based on site conditions and space); drop-arm vehicle barriers near Venona Road; an automated emergency access gate from Taylor Avenue to Venona Road; a pedestrian sally port; security pull-outs and fence access roads; and trailers in the former golf clubhouse parking lot for the ECIPO.

The SOW includes security features for the Taylor Avenue gate, integration with the Perimeter Security Anti-Terrorism (PSAT) fence (including M50 P1 Certified Cable Barrier), and road realignment on Taylor Avenue. Supporting infrastructure will be constructed for site circulation, stormwater management, security, lighting, and landscaping, integrating with the East Campus.

Improvements include installing new or expanded utility services and distribution systems. Site preparation covers clearing, grubbing, cut and fill, grading, and erosion/sediment control.

Construction will maintain traffic flow. The prime contractor or joint venture partners must have experience managing road projects and developing/implementing Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) plans.

The project requires coordination with stakeholders/utilities (including Baltimore Gas and Electric) and obtaining necessary construction permits/approvals.
