[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MD has signed an agreement with Transurban. That agreement is currently being litigated because other companies wanted to bid, but it’s unlikely that will be successful. It will be very hard for Maryland to exit this agreement and there is no alternative plan in place to rebuild the bridge so it will happen eventually. However in typical Maryland fashion it will be decades too late. [/quote]

Whatever Transurban has a contract to do, they're not going to do it. As you may have heard, Maryland will have a new governor and 2/3 of a new Board of Public Works next month. The clock ran out on Larry Hogan's pet plan.[/quote]
Please dear expert explain how MD gets out of its contractual obligation?

Signing that contract was probably the best thing Hogan ever did for this county because it forced them down a road that’s effectively irreversible except for large financial penalties. Not that they won’t try but eventually the contract will be upheld. The bridge is a done deal but will be more expensive and take longer to address than necessary.

270 is actually where things get interesting. Upcounty wants expansion. Frederick wants expansion. [/quote]
