Project Status

Construction is 61% complete.

Water main installation on the first three phases of the project is complete (West Cedar Lane and Rockville Pike).

The contractor is finishing up Phase 4 (West Cedar) and will be pausing construction and removing equipment during the winter months due to restrictions on above-ground pipe (bypass) installation. Work will resume in March 2026.
