(July 8, 2015) – Beginning this Sunday night (weather permitting), the Maryland Department of Transportation's State Highway Administration (SHA) will start final resurfacing on a section of MD 410 (East West Highway) between Carey Lane and Fenton Street. The overall project should be complete by late fall.

To expedite all phases of final resurfacing, crews will close one lane in both directions of MD 410 overnight, Sunday through Thursday between 7 p.m. and 5 a.m. Additionally, crews are permitted to close one lane weekdays between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. for other various phases of construction for the project.

SHA asks for the patience of the public as crews work to finish the project. Residents and travelers are advised that equipment used for construction can be loud and disruptive.

In addition to this project, drivers may also encounter mobile or short-term work zones. Click here for a listing of major SHA projects in Maryland.  Always expect the unexpected, pay extra close attention and drive slowly through any work zone. Whether it’s a tree trimming operation or a bridge project, be aware when orange is there: Think Orange (the color of construction equipment and signs), stay alert and slow down. Everyone is at risk.

In four out of five work zone-related crashes, it is the driver or passenger who is injured or killed. In 2014, nine people lost their lives in Maryland work zone crashes, including four highway workers. While SHA and its transportation partners work hard to keep traffic safely moving in work zones, please partner with us because work zone safety is everyone’s business – slow down and stay alert. Safer driving. Safer Work zones. For everyone.
