Icy conditions could occur at the onset of the morning rush hour.
The Maryland State Highway Administration strongly urges motorists to avoid traveling early Thursday morning, especially before dawn.

Speak out in comments below.
The Takoma Park City Council is still negotiating with the Maryland State Highway Administration on the responsibility for MD 410 between Philadelphia Avenue and Ethan Allen Avenue. Some residents fear that if the state takes responsibility it will make way for road widening due to traffic concerns. On the other hand, if SHA takes responsibility then the city will not have to pay for any upkeep of the road. So do you fear SHA having responsibility for the road or do you welcome it?
SHA has rejected a non-widening agreement in the past.
The Takoma Park City Council rejected the Maryland State Highway Administration memo outlining the responsibility for maintaining MD 410 and will continue to negotiate to quell any possible widening of the road if the state chooses. In the SHA memo, the state would be responsible for all maintenance on the portion of MD 410 between Philadelphia Avenue and Ethan Allen, according to Takoma Park City Attorney Sue Silber. The state would not guarantee that the road would not be widened in that stretch, but would listening to comments from Takoma Park on an issues with the road and respond appropriately to those concerns. This came after the SHA discovered minutes from a 1934 Takoma Park City Council meeting that made that part of MD 410 part …

Are you worried about the ownership of the road?
Tonight the Takoma Park City Council will vote on whether to approve a memorandum of understanding that the Maryland State Highway Association owns MD 410 between Ethan Allen Avenue and Philadelphia Avenue in Takoma Park. We want to know whether you are worried that the city will no longer have control over what happens to the road. Some residents are worried that the SHA will widen the road without any input from residents. Let us know what you think.
The SHA has owned the road since 1934, according to city council minutes.
After years of confusion, Takoma Park City Council will lay to rest the question of who owns MD 410 in Takoma Park at the city council meeting Monday at 7:30 p.m. According to minutes from a Takoma Park City Council meeting in 1934, the part of the state road that runs through Takoma Park is owned by the State Highway Adminstration and part of the state highway system. SHA acknowledges that maintenance of MD 410 has not always occurred in a consistent manner and the SHA agrees that it has full maintenance and financial responsibility for MD 410 through Takoma Park, according to a memorandum of understanding (MOU). Even with this, Takoma Park will play a role in coordination and consultation with SHA of issues impacting MD 410 through the …
