CAMBRIDGE, MD - Construction and renovations to convert the Cambridge Walmart at Dorchester Square into a Super Walmart, with expanded grocery sales and 24-hour service, is rapidly progressing toward completion this fall.
A new entrance on the left side of the building recently was completed and is accessible to customers. The parking lot in front of the new entrance was also expanded to accommodate customers. Construction moved to the right side of the building in front of the old entrance where more expansions are expected.
When the $11 million construction project is completed, sometime in late August, customers can expect the Walmart Supercenter to include a large supermarket featuring fresh meats, fish, fruits and vegetables.
KBE Building Corporation of Columbia announced the start of construction last November, an announcement that followed more than a year of rumors of expansion of the Cambridge Walmart.
Walmart initially had a preliminary site plan for the expansion of the Cambridge store approved by Cambridge's planning department in June 2009. Since then, a building permit for the project has been approved. The preliminary site plan was for expansion on all four sides of the building.
The project will expand the 102,000-square-foot Walmart to 148,000 square feet, almost a 50 percent increase in total square footage. Construction workers set up a chain-link fence around a portion of the Walmart parking lot in front of the old entrance where the building is being expanded, which cut the lot nearly in half.
Has Wal Mart abandened the warehouse site on Revels Neck Road in Somerset County????
ReplyDeleteA little off subject here but when is the bridge in Salisbury going to be finished. Supposed to have been the end of April. That construction company needs to be fired or fined. Too much congestion for too long.
ReplyDeleteWhy can they expand that one to a Super Wal-Mart but have to build a whole new building for the Berlin Super Wal-Mart? right next to the regular Wal-Mart?
