Starting Monday, the county’s contractor, Groundwork Solutions, Inc. of Berlin, MD, will work 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily, until the work has been completed. Atlantic Traffic Safety, Inc. of Berlin, MD, will use variable message signs, arrow boards, and cones to safely guide motorists through the detour route to US 50 (Ocean Gateway).
