Routine Maintenance Requires Flagging Operation Sunday, July 23

(July 18, 2017) – The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) will perform routine maintenance to the MD 4 Bridge over the Patuxent River (Governor Thomas Johnson Memorial Bridge) at the Calvert/St. Mary’s County line this weekend.  The repairs will necessitate crews to close one of two lanes and alternate traffic using a flagging operation Sunday between 6 a.m. and 2 p.m.  The work is weather permitting.

The e-Road Ready 2017 electronic construction brochure is now available by clicking here.  The e-brochure highlights major road construction and maintenance projects in each Maryland’s 23 counties.  Maryland drivers can Know Before You Go! by calling 511 or visiting www.md511.org for live traffic updates, including construction delays and lane closures.

 
While MDOT 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.
