ELLICOTT CITY, MD – A Howard County construction project to install sidewalk along the south side of Guilford Road between Stayton Drive and The Leola Dorsey Community Resource Center at 10390 Guilford Road in Jessup, has begun. Weather permitting, the project is anticipated to be completed by early May 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.

The project is part of Howard County’s WalkHoward(link is external) plan to connect existing sidewalks in the area. Signs will be posted in the project area to alert pedestrians and motorists of the construction, set to take place Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., as the curb lane in the project area and sidewalk between the Resource Center and US 1 will be closed during construction hours.

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.
