Broken Land Parkway Path Set to Be Built
3,000-feet of pedestrian paths will be constructed along Broken Land Parkway near Snowden River Parkway.
The Department of Public Works will begin a project this month to build new paths along Broken Land Parkway that will extend from Lake Elkhorn and the Patuxent Branch Trail.
One path will connect the Lake Elkhorn parking lot on Broken Land with a pedestrian crossing at the Snowden River/ Broken Land intersection. Across the street, another path will take pedestrians from the Patuxent Branch Trail along Broken Land to Snowden River Parkway.
