(October 11, 2013) – The Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) is closing MD 550 (Woodsboro Road) at the bridge over Israel Creek near Woodsboro in Frederick County due to a traffic signal outage caused by high water.
 
Truck traffic should use MD 26 (Liberty Road) and MD 194 (Woodsboro Pike) to bypass the area. Other traffic may use local roads.
 
The MD 550 bridge has been reduced to a single lane due to construction, and the temporary traffic signal used to alternate traffic directions is not functional due to flooding.
 
The road will remain closed until water recedes enough to repair the traffic signal. Officials anticipate the closure will last several days.
