People in Overlea want changes to Route 1

Heavy traffic and an increase in car accidents have people in Overlea wanting change on Route 1. In 2023, the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration re-ignited plans to improve the road—improvements people have been asking for for decades. "With the increase in accidents along Belair Road along with concerns about pedestrian safety, it's so critical that people are here and that SHA and the state are hearing what matters to them," says Kaitlin Klimm-Kellner, Linover Improvement Association President.
