After 2 deadly crashes that took the lives of three people in just 3 days this week, Maryland State Highway officials are closing the median crossover for MD 405/Price Station Road at Rt 301 in Queen Anne’s County. This closure will begin Saturday – only emergency vehicle access will be maintained at that intersection. Drivers should plan alternate routes as this closure will remain in effect until further notice.

Additional information from MD SHA:

Nearby US 301 median crossovers are available at MD 19 (Roberts Station Road), two miles north and at Hayden Clark Road, 1.7 miles south. (See map.)

“This is a safety-focused decision,” said State Highway Administrator Will Pines. “This closure is necessary to save lives and make the corridor safer for the tens of thousands of travelers and residents who use it every day.”

State Highway Administration implemented numerous safety-driven changes to help improve drivers’ sightlines in the 500-foot wide median in recent years, including restriping/realignment, audible pavement “rumble strip” warnings, additional signage, and installed channelizing devices in the median to reposition westbound MD 405 vehicles slightly prior to the stop sign at southbound US 301.
