ELLICOTT CITY, MD – A Howard County construction project to replace approximately 12,000 linear feet of water mains and accessories along Eliots Oak Road from MD 108 to Blacksmith Drive and Hesperus Drive between Round Tower and Open Window in Columbia, is expected to begin on or about Thursday, May 1st. Weather permitting, the project is expected to be completed by late May 2026.
Signs will be posted to alert pedestrians and motorists of the work and flagging operations will be in place as temporary lane closures can be expected in the project area during construction hours, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
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.
