Hugheville Bypass now in
operation
Part of
the long anticipated Hugheville bypass began operation this week. Members
wanting to conduct business at the REALTOR Center in Hughesville may experience
a new traffic pattern. No Rt 5 traffic is currently allowed to pass directly
through Hughesville. When travelling either north or south on Leonardtown Road
(Rt. 5), expect to be re-routed to the bypass prior to reaching Hughesville.
You must exit onto Rt 231 West and then turn left at the light in order to reach
the Association building. Expect to merge into a traffic circle when coming off
the exit ramps. Please exercize caution as much construction is still in
progress and people are unfamiliar with the new traffic pattern. Only local
business traffic is permitted on Leonardtown road and drivers must loop back to
231 in order to exit town.
