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. It’s about creating a strong, more connected transportation network that meets the needs of our residents today while preparing our community for the future.” The roadway, which starts at St. Andrew’s Church Road in California, now stretches down past Buck Hewitt Road to Pegg Road in Lexington Park. A separate portion of the road from Great Mills Road to Shangri-La Drive in Lexington Park does not currently connect to the newest extension at Pegg 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,
