A project will widen Rayford Road to four lanes between an area 40 feet east of Waterbend Cove and approximately 400 feet east of Birnham Woods Drive. It includes creating two new eastbound travel lanes from Waterbend to the Rayford intersection with Birnham Woods and using the existing road for the westbound lanes.

The project also includes widening Birnham Woods to four lanes 600 feet north and south of Rayford and installing traffic signals at four locations on Rayford.

As of late October, the contractor was working on concrete pouring on the west end of the project and had started excavation on the end approaching Birnham Woods. Eastbound traffic was shifted to new lanes in October, and power was turned on for the traffic signal at Rayford and Harmony Woods, according to Montgomery County Precinct 3.
