The purpose of the I-95/Contee Road Transportation Improvement Study is to improve traffic operations within the project study area by providing adequate roadway capacity to safely and effectively serve existing traffic demand and the increased demand expected from future development.  The Prince George’s County Subregion I Master Plan designates much of the project area for economic development as a commercial, social, cultural, and recreational focal point for the northern part of the County.  A major component of this planned development is Konterra, a 2,200-acre mixed-use development proposed for both sides of I-95.

The study area is located along the western border of Prince George’s County, Maryland, just west of the City of Laurel.  It extends along I-95 between the existing interchanges at MD 198 and MD 212.
