Pole lighting · 2026
Light Pole attached to Bridge Northbound
Forestville, MD · near Joint Base Andrews (2.0 mi)
What this outcome means
The FAA studied the proposal and concluded it would not be a hazard to air navigation. A no-hazard determination is not permanent — it carries an expiration date, and if the structure is not built by then the case has to be re-filed.
The proposal, in the filer's words
"The project for replacement of the existing bridge deck also includes replacement of the roadway lighting mounted on the bridge structure. The light is attached approximately 40 feet above the bridge girder at its support location.\nThe bridge deck elevation is 299 feet (at deck level). The ground elevation at the same location measured from the intersecting MD-4 roadway surface is 279 feet.\nFor clarity of the existing conditions and configuration please refer to the attached photographs."
