​Expect Single Lane Closures, Flagging Operation Through May 

(April 11, 2024) – The Maryland State Highway Administration will conduct routine maintenance repairs on the Main Street (MD 991) Drawbridge over the Wicomico River in downtown Salisbury beginning Sunday, April 14, weather permitting.    

Drivers can expect single-lane closures with flagging operations during the work hours of 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.  Motorists should plan for additional travel time. 

 In addition, SHA contractor Covington Machine and Welding of Annapolis will use variable message signs, cones and barrels to direct traffic through the work zone.  All work on this drawbridge should be completed by mid-May. 

 The State Highway Administration appreciates customers’ patience during construction as we work to improve Maryland’s transportation system. Drivers are asked to stay alert, focused, and be aware of reduced speed limits and changing driving patterns in the work zone. Slow down and move in work zones. It’s the law.
