The Maryland Department of Transportation, along with the State Highway Administration, plans to reduce the danger on Route 404 by widening the lanes to make it safer for drivers. Just beyond Tuckahoe Creek as you enter Caroline County on Route 404, MDOT just completed a one-mile project that gives drivers a little breathing room between lanes. Next on MDOT’s agenda is to increase the lanes from two to four on Route 404 between Route 309 and Tuckahoe Creek. In 2009, MDOT estimated it would cost around $15-million for one mile of road work on Route 404. It could be a while before the entire road gets re-done.
