Department of Recreation and Parks Millennium Trail The Millennium Trail was recommended in the 1998 Rockville Bikeway Master Plan. Design and construction of the Trail was funded by the Federal Government, the Maryland State Highway Administration, and the City of Rockville. The Trail was officially opened in May 2006 during May is Bike Month. The path travels along Norbeck Road, Gude Drive, and Wootton Parkway. In the Fallsgrove Development it meanders through the parks and open areas, with scenic views across the many ponds. Mile markers are placed every one-half miles with the "zero" marker located near the future Thomas Farm Community Center in Fallsgrove.
Map of Millennium Trail and Bikeways in Rockville I-270 Pedestrian and Bicycle Bridge
A new Pedestrian and Bicycle Bridge is being constructed over I-270 at MD 28. This bridge will provide an essential element for pedestrians and bicyclists crossing over the highway and will showcase a key facility in Rockville’s pedestrian and bicycle system to drivers passing below. Construction costs for the bridge are funded by the Federal Transportation Enhancement Program and the City of Rockville. The bridge is being constructed on the south side of the I-270/MD 28 interchange and will improve east-west bicycle access across the City. When the new bridge is completed, bicyclists will be able to conveniently travel from neighborhoods such as Rockshire and Fallsgrove to other destinations in the central and east part of the City, such as Town Center.
