(March 31, 2014) – The State Highway Administration (SHA) is resurfacing a 1.6 mile section of MD 675 (Somerset Avenue) in Princess Anne.  The $260,000 resurfacing project begins Tuesday, April 1.  It is scheduled to be complete by mid-April, weather permitting.

The milling work followed by paving will start at the southern limit of MD 675 where the highway merges with US 13 and continue northward to Broad Street.  The project is part of an areawide contract awarded to American Infrastructure, Inc. of Fallston.

Motorists should expect single lane closures Mondays through Fridays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.  This type of construction can also be noisy and disruptive.   SHA will use cones and barrels together with a flagging operation to guide traffic through the work zone. Crews will maintain driveway and parking access during construction.

While SHA and its transportation partners work hard to maintain safe traffic mobility in work zones, each driver needs to actively modify his or her driving style to help prevent crashes. Stay alert and look for reduced speed limits, narrow driving lanes and highway workers.  Slow down and don’t follow too closely. Safer driving. Safer work zones. For everyone!
