DRIVEWAY APRON REPLACEMENT INFORMATION

The Montgomery County Department of Public Works and Transportation, Division of Operations, Highway Maintenance Section has adopted a policy to provide residents with an option to replace deteriorated driveway aprons while maintenance work is being performed within their neighborhoods.

The driveway apron is that portion of the driveway within the public right-of-way, generally from the curb section of the roadway to the front edge of the sidewalk, or to the property line. Driveway aprons are for the sole purpose of providing ingress and egress between private property and the public right-of-way. Since the apron benefits only the private property owner and not the general public, County policy requires that the private property owner be responsible for the maintenance of the apron and any existing drainage pipe beneath the apron.

As a result of the policy, a Highway Maintenance inspector will determine whether your apron qualifies you to exercise this replacement option. He/she will then leave a notice on your door with instructions regarding your participation. If there is no notice left at your door and you believe your apron should be replaced, you may request that an inspector examine the apron at your residence. You may either contact the inspector in your neighborhood while the work is taking place or call the Division of Operations’ CustomerServiceCenter at 240-777-6000.
