Motorists Should Expect Daytime Single Lane Closures and Flagging Operations

(April 6, 2017) – Next week, the Maryland Department of Transportation’s State Highway Administration (SHA) will begin patching sections of damaged pavement on more than three miles of MD 155 (Level Road) between Earlton Road and US 40 (Pulaski Highway) in Harford County.  Weather permitting, the $609,000 project will be complete early summer.  

SHA’s contractor, Gray and Son, Inc., of Timonium, may work along MD 155 at any time, with lane closures and flagging operations in effect between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. each day.  If necessary, crews may also work on Saturdays between 6 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Approximately 13,780 vehicles use this segment of MD 155 each day.  Motorists should plan extra travel time during the pavement repair project.

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. Work Zone Safety is in Your Hands.

Maryland drivers can also know before they go by calling 511 or visiting www.md511.org for live traffic updates, including construction delays and lane closures.
