Widening a section of Broadfording Road will partly depend on participation from Washington County and conceptual approval of a developer's plans, the Hagerstown City Council said Tuesday. It will also depend on whether the council can be assured that the city will recoup its investment, council members said. "We need a binding - a very binding - agreement with all the other commercial developers there," Councilman Martin Brubaker said. "We need to be assured we are going to get it (reimbursement)

Hagerstown City Council is scheduled to discuss Tuesday whether it wants to move forward with widening a deteriorating 0.28-mile section of Broadfording Road near Best Buy. The city agreed last year to take ownership of the road, between Hollyhock Road and Salem Avenue (Md. 58), from the state once it was repaired, Assistant City Engineer Jim Bender said. But the process to repair the road hit a bump, Bender said. In 2010, the city joined developers and Washington County in a "road club" that would use a mixture of developer and county funds to make the improvements a reality, City Engineer Rodney Tissue said previously.

Both lanes of the Fairview Road (Md. 494) bridge over Conococheague Creek just north of Broadfording will be subject to closure at various times over the next four weeks due to bridge repair work, the Maryland State Highway Administration's website is reporting.

Work on the bridge began June 27 and is expected to continue through July 29.
