Bethesda Naval Hospital will be conducting a traffic study beginning approximately June 2nd and continuing for about two weeks. The focus of the traffic study is primarily related to the interior of the campus, but there will be some traffic counts conducted at the gate entry points. Impacts on the surrounding community should be very minimal, but you may notice some activity. For example, electronic counters may be placed at the intersections outside of the gate entry points, or you may notice physical counts being conducted (i.e. individuals sitting or standing, collecting vehicle information).
