ELLICOTT CITY, MD – A Howard County construction project to install Americans with Disabilities Act compliant curb ramps and a sidewalk along Ilchester Road between Talbots Landing and Ilchester Woods Way in Ellicott City, is scheduled to begin on or about Monday, April 7th. Weather permitting, the project is expected to be completed by late April 2025.
Sidewalks create neighborhood connections and provide our residents safe and healthy transportation options. In the last five years alone, we have invested more than $50 million in multimodal transportation projects like this one that allow us to construct, expand, and improve our infrastructure to ensure our community is a happier, healthier, and more inclusive, vibrant place to live.
This project is part of Howard County’s WalkHoward plan to connect existing sidewalks in the area. Signs will be posted in the project area to alert pedestrians of the construction, set to take place Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., as temporary closures of the sidewalk ramp at the intersection of Ilchester Road and Talbots Landing can be expected.
While the County and its transportation partners work hard to maintain safe traffic mobility in work zones, drivers are reminded to stay alert and look for reduced speed limits, narrow driving lanes and highway workers. Please slow down and don’t follow too closely when traveling through a work zone. Remember, work zone safety is in your hands.
