​Patching Operation Planned for Week of February 8 

(February 4, 2026) – The right lane on westbound US 50 just west of MD 309/Easton Airport is closed in Talbot County for patching repairs. The work will require several days to mobilize equipment and to prepare materials.    

A temporary lane shift recently was implemented in both directions of US 50 near the Talbot Community Center and Hog Neck Golf Course for intersection improvements as part of the new University of Maryland Shore Health Regional Medical Center. Because the patching area is within the medical center work zone, all repairs will be done by contractors for the medical center project. Drivers are reminded that the US 50 speed limit through the work zone has been reduced to 45 mph.

While the work may be several days away, the State Highway Administration determined an immediate lane closure was necessary to ensure safe travel through the work zone.
