A Strong Partnership That Delivered Results
Working in close collaboration with the Maryland State Highway Administration, Pleasants Construction helped deliver a project that met every key objective. From early planning through final paving, both teams operated with a shared focus on safety, efficiency, and transparency.
Open communication and regular coordination meetings ensured that schedules, traffic control, and quality expectations stayed aligned throughout the project.
Managing a High-Traffic Corridor with Safety First
The Maryland Route 650 corridor, from Norbeck Road to Maryland Route 200, is a heavily traveled route. Maintaining safety for both drivers and crews was a top priority.
The team implemented clear traffic control plans, adjusted work around peak traffic conditions, and responded quickly to field changes. This approach minimized disruptions while keeping the project moving forward.
Innovation That Improved Performance
The project also showcased smart decision-making and innovation. A crumb rubber asphalt mix was introduced early through a coordinated change order, allowing for improved material performance and long-term durability.
Pleasants Construction worked closely with inspectors and consultants to refine construction sequencing and maximize efficiency, helping reduce costs without sacrificing quality.
Delivered On Time and Under Budget
Despite the challenges of working on a busy roadway, the project was completed on schedule and under budget.
The finished roadway now offers:
- Enhanced safety for motorists

- Extended pavement life on a key transportation link
