Traffic lights to replace roundabout on Charles Street at Beltway this fall


By Loni Ingraham

The traffic lights that will replace the roundabout at the intersection of Charles Street and the Baltimore Beltway are now in place.

But drivers who would like to see the 12-year-old traffic circle gone should hold the confetti.

The lights won't be operational until fall, according to the State Highway Administration. That's when the $47 million reconfiguration of the Charles Street interchange area, which includes the replacement of the roundabout, is scheduled for completion.
...The project includes replacing the 55-year-old, 214-foot-long Charles Street bridge over the Beltway with a longer span to accommodate future Beltway widening.

The old bridge already is gone. The new bridge will be 327 feet long and more than 114 feet wide, and will feature two additional lanes, five-foot sidewalks and bicycle lanes on both sides.

Like most people I live a hectic life and who has the time for much exercise? Thanks to xtracycle now I do. By using my bike for daily activities I can get things done and get an hour plus work out in 15 minutes extra of my time, not a bad deal and beats taking the extra time going to the gym. In case you are still having trouble being motivated; the National Center of Disease Control says that inactivity is the #2 killer in the United States just behind smoking. ( http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/bb_nutrition/ ) Get out there and start living life! I can carry home a full shopping cart of groceries, car pool two kids or just get lost in the great outdoors camping for a week. Well I got go, another outing this weekend.
