Capital Crescent Trail phasing and county maintenance handoff

Montgomery County

Summary

The trail could open in phases starting in early 2027, with the Bethesda-to-Connecticut section nearly done — delayed a bit by the Columbia Country Club's fence requests. MCDOT is already budgeting for trash, graffiti and long-term trail upkeep once it takes over.
