The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration will install 7.5 miles of temporary bus-only lanes along Rockville Pike/MD 355 beginning July 6, 2026, to prioritize shuttle buses during the Red Line closure. Private vehicles will be barred from the lanes Monday through Saturday from 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., and no parking will be permitted in the lanes at any time. The northern segment (north of I-495 to Marinelli Road) will be evaluated for potential permanent dedicated bus lanes, with data published and public input sought.
