State Highway Administration Discovers Rare African-American Archaeology Site
In a wooded location off of US 29, surrounded by a densely populated area where an Intercounty Connector (ICC) interchange will be built, a team of State Highway Administration (SHA) archaeologists discovered an undisturbed 19th century farmstead. The discovery of hidden ritual caches associated with African folk practices suggested African Americans occupied the house. Historic records confirmed Melinda Jackson, a freed slave who purchased the home in 1869, owned the 8.75 acre property - just big enough to grow crops and raise livestock to support her five children.

The Straight Scoop: ICC Not to Blame for Shady Grove Road Area Power Outages
The Straight Scoop: Sometimes all the information does not make into a media story, or mistakes are made in reporting the news, all of which can confuse the public. In those situations, the ICC wants to set the record straight. Correction for Montgomery Sentinel - July 2, 2008 Police say ICC construction caused power outages - FALSE http://www.thesentinel.com/357294626228210.php In the July 2, 2008, edition of The Montgomery Sentinel, the reporter incorrectly reported that Montgomery County police cited the ICC as the source for a June 30 power outage. Police spokesperson Lucille Baur said police did not identify the ICC as the source of the power outage to the Sentinel reporter. While construction equipment hit a power line on Shady Grove Road, it was not work related to the ICC, but a Montgomery County construction project.

SHA's Decision on Interim Connection for First Segment of the ICC
The first seven-mile segment of the ICC from I-370 to MD 97 (also referred to as Contract A) will be open to revenue generating traffic in the fall of 2010, approximately 12 to 15 months in advance of the balance of the ICC connecting to I-95. SHA is opening this first segment early because it will help relieve traffic congestion and provide a safer travel route for motorists currently using some of the most congested secondary roadways in the area. Coupled with the improvements along MD 28 east of MD 97 as discussed below, opening this first segment of the ICC to traffic will have immediate and measurable benefits to all people that currently use these secondary roads.

Update for residents and Commuters Spring is bringing milder temperatures and a boost in Intercounty Connector (ICC) construction activity. But the ICC Team has been far from idle during the fall and winter months; in fact, full-scale work began last fall when the first segment Contract A started preparing for heavier construction.

The Straight Scoop: On Gazette's Wednesday, 06-25-08 story on Sherview Lane
The Straight Scoop: Sometimes all the information does not make into a media story, or mistakes are made in reporting the news, all of which can confuse the public. In those situations, the ICC wants to set the record straight. Correction for Gazette - June 25 Story Neighborhood may not get ICC sound barrier http://www.gazette.net/stories/062508/wheanew194048_32369.shtml In the June 25, 2008, edition of The Gazette, the reporter incorrectly identified Old Columbia Pike as US 29 (Columbia Pike), when reporting on the probability of sound walls for Sherview Lane. This error has since been corrected, but a few more details require clarification. Please note that the most recent highway design at US 29 shows the ICC going over US 29 (Columbia Pike) and under Old Columbia Pike and that noise modeling of the final alignment/concept is required to determine whether a sound wall is required or not. The noise analysis at Sherview Lane of the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) alignment determined that the residential area along Sherview Lane did not meet SHA?s criteria for a sound wall under SHA guidelines. The ICC design at Old Columbia Pike, adjacent to Sherview Lane, is depressed some 30 ft into the ground, with the ICC going under Old Columbia Pike. Old Columbia Pike is proposed to be relocated immediately to the east of the existing road so that local traffic can be maintained while constructing the new Old Columbia Pike bridge over the proposed ICC. This design visually and audibly reduces the impact to homes on Sherview Lane. Residences qualify for a sound barrier (are impacted) if the projected noise level is at least 66 dBA, or they experience at least a 10 dBA increase over the existing peak noise levels. The noise reduction from the barrier is not a criterion that determines whether we investigate a barrier; it is another reasonableness criterion for determining whether an analyzed barrier is "reasonable" to be built. The criteria for this is that the barrier provides at least a 7 dBA reduction in noise levels. If you have questions regarding the ICC, please call the ICC toll free Hotline at: 1-866-462-0020.
