Watkins MIll I-270 interchange construction update (Video+Photos)

Here's a look at the current status of the new Watkins Mill Road interchange with I-270 in Gaithersburg. Some views are from the "Paramount" side to the east, and others are from the Parklands development side to the west. You'll also see some sad scenes of the promised-but-never-built Watkins Mill Town Center, which joins the never-built Clarksburg Town Center in Montgomery County's Hall-of-Shame. It's still just an empty field, like Clarksburg's.

Paramount apartments give residents front row seat on Performers Park in Gaithersburg (Photos)

The Paramount apartments, now leasing at the new Spectrum development in Watkins Mill Town Center, have a lot of amenities - a library complete with fireplace, Club Room, gourmet coffee service, dog wash salon, and even a salt water lap pool.

But the one that may be hardest to miss is right adjacent to the building. Performers Park is a gathering place and event spot that also boasts green space. Surrounded by restaurants and retail, the park will be used for concerts, community events and shows. It also features a central splash pad, which is a water feature geared toward kids.

The Spectrum is located on Watkins Mill Road at MD 355 in Gaithersburg.
