SHA releases Rt. 90 scenarios

Upgrade options outlined, public weighs in with its choices of configurations

(March 2, 2023) Ocean Pines residents who want to get to the beach club on a nice summer day know how congested Route 90 can get. Eastbound traffic queues can extend nearly six miles on Fridays approaching Ocean City, and more than 7.5 miles Saturdays during peak times.

That’s only to be expected when this two-lane spur off Route 50 is the only route into midtown Ocean City, and one of just three that connect the resort and its hundreds of thousands of weekly visitors to the mainland.
