On Friday morning, thunder rumbled. The crowd stayed away. The adventuresome came anyway. A few cars had to be pushed out of the parking fields’ mud.

New stretch of FDR Boulevard opens in St. Mary’s

The new phase of FDR Boulevard might just be the best one yet, according to project engineer Allen Settle. On Tuesday afternoon, the St. Mary’s County commissioners and representatives from the department of public works and transportation hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the newest extension of FDR Boulevard, which officially opened to drivers the following day. “Today is an opportunity to recognize just how far we’ve come,” Commissioner President Randy Guy (R) said. “The vision for FDR Boulevard has always been about more than building another road.

This most recent phase involved adding a new traffic light at the intersection of FDR Boulevard and Pegg Road and building new entrances at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church, Plaza Azteca restaurant and the Hampton Inn Hotel,
