(August 11, 2015) – The Maryland Department of Transportation’s State Highway Administration (SHA) has issued a mid-summer update on its e-Road Ready 2015.

E-Road ready 2015 mid-summer update contains updates on projects listed with the original release of the electronic construction brochure and contains photos of projects that are underway.

SHA has also added many smaller resurfacing projects that are either underway or will be beginning by early August.

In addition to the mid-summer update of e-Road Ready 2015, drivers are also encouraged to use www.md511.org to get real-time travel information.

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.
