Fort Meade's Busiest Intersection Getting Revamped

One of the busiest traffic spots at Fort Meade will be undergoing a facelift over the next six months. 

The intersection at Reece and Cooper Avenues will be reconstructed to accommodate increasing traffic, according to the latest edition of Meade Week from the installation's public affairs office. 

The project involves adding new lanes, turn lanes and sidewalks, and is scheduled to be completed next year.
