Lidl Has Pulled Out of Brandywine Location

Lidl has dropped their contract for the Brandywine, MD location at Cadillac Crossing.  They have not given any reason why.  I believe they are trying to do too many locations at once.  We will see if they move forward with locations set in Waldorf and La Plata.

Aquatic Center Coming to Brandywine

This is a project that has been in the works for a while (2013) and since there was a groundbreaking late last year I'm going to go ahead and post about it.

The Prince Georges County Parks and Recreation is going to build a 77,000 square foot indoor aquatic and recreation center on a 65 acre parcel of land near the intersection of Brandywine Road and Missouri Avenue.  The project is scheduled to open mid 2019.  You can read more about it here:

UPDATE 10/6/17: Ground is being cleared for the site.
UPDATE 1/14/19: Opening moved to spring / summer 2019

Cadillac Crossing Brandywine

Land is being cleared for the new Cadillac Crossing Center across from Brandywine Crossing Shopping Center.  The property will have a hotel, retail and grocery store as well as some pad sites for other uses.  Best Western is the hotel but that may change. Verizon and Chipotle are signed on with more to come.

Matapeake Business Drive Extension

Clearing has begun on the extension of  Matapeake Business Drive behind the Brandywine Crossing Shopping Center.  The road is planned to connect to Rt. 381 (Brandywine Road).  The end of the road is already constructed currently named Mattawoman Drive.  This concept plan shows the approved project called the Villages at Timothy Branch which would have around 1,200 residential units and some commercial.  The land is currently for sale so no one is building this residential project yet.  No word on the completion date of the road.


Just a reminder that comments are moderated so you may not see your post immediately. I try to approve them as fast as they come. I appreciate all your feedback!

Brandywine Road Construction

I have had multiple inquiries on what is going on with the intersections at Route 5 and Brandywine Road and also Accokeek Rd. so I did a little looking around and have a list of what is being completed.   This is straight from the State Highway description:

 The project scope consists of constructing an overpass bridge north of the existing Brandywine Road intersection, with ramps and service roads providing access to-and-from MD 5. A roundabout will be constructed at the intersection with MD 373 (Accokeek Road). Work on the project will also include: 

• Drainage and landscaping improvements
• Interchange lighting
• Signing and pavement marking upgrades
• Sidewalks and ramps compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
• Park and Ride facility.

• Phase 1–Construction of the MD 5 east-side and west-side embankments, northbound and southbound entrance ramps, and median piers. 

• Phase 2–Construction of the Brandywine Road bridge deck and MD 5 median.
• Phase 3–Relocating the Brandywine Road and Accokeek ramps onto the newly-built overpass, and roundabout construction 
• Phase 4–Construction of the northbound exit ramp to Brandywine Road and southbound MD 5 shoulder 
• Phase 5–Construction of a Park and Ride lot 


Construction is scheduled to begin in late Spring 2016 and should be completed by Fall 2019.

So there you have it.  Of course dates of completion are always subject to change.
