MDOT SHA Replacing Damaged Pipe in Berlin; Motorists to be Detoured

(July 25, 2017) – The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) will replace a damaged drainage pipe under MD 346 (Old Ocean City Road) just south of Carey Road in Berlin beginning late July. The work will require MDOT SHA to close MD 346 between Cary Road and St. Martin’s Road for several weeks.  Residents will have access to the roadway on both sides of the closure.  Weather permitting, the $60,000 repair will be complete by mid-August.

MDOT SHA’s contractor, ANA General Contractors of Ocean City, will implement the following detour for motorists:  MD 346 to Carey Road to St. Martin’s Road and back to MD 346.  Approximately 1,200 motorists use this section of MD 346 each day.

In addition to installing a new culvert, crews will pave and restripe MD 346 at the repair site.
