| WASHINGTON COUNTY, MD (December 8, 2025) – Washington County Government is pleased to announce a ribbon cutting ceremony celebrating the completion of the Halfway Boulevard Extension Project, located in the area of 16650 Halfway Blvd, Hagerstown, MD 21740. The event marks the opening of a major new roadway segment designed to enhance regional connectivity, improve traffic flow, and support future commercial and industrial growth. The completed project includes 3,250 linear feet of a new four-lane open-section roadway and a major culvert connecting MD Route 63 (Greencastle Pike) to existing Halfway Boulevard at Newgate Boulevard. This extension provides an alternate route between Interstate 81 and Interstate 70, improves access for heavy truck traffic, and facilitates future development in one of Washington County’s key growth corridors. The project was made possible through a partnership between the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC), Bowman Development Corp., the Maryland Department of Transportation – District 6, Hitachi Rail, AC&T – Fulton Family, and Washington County Government. Construction was completed by William C. Hetzer Inc., serving as the project’s contractor. These partners contributed to funding, planning, and implementation efforts that support improved logistics, increased development, and reduced strain on surrounding road networks.
