  9. Left Turn Bay Concept 2 years plus to design and construct after funding is approved Estimated construction cost = $940,000

  10. ICB (Intersection Control Beacon) MD 30 (Hanover Pike) at Bortner Road/Dover Road

  11. Install Intersection Control Beacon (ICB) at intersection. Beacon would flash yellow along MD 30 and red along Mt. Gilead Road. (12 months plus) Estimated Construction Cost = $125,000 (Will need approval to qualify for Traffic Management funding.) ICB (Intersection Control Beacon) 12 months plus to design and construct after funding is approved Estimated construction cost = $125,000
