ELLICOTT CITY, MD – A Howard County construction project to extend the lifespan of some of the County’s roads is underway. Crews will seal roadway cracks and overlay existing roadways with a protective seal coat using microsurfacing materials. Weather permitting, the project is expected to be completed by late October.
County roads to be addressed will include:
Ellicott City: Benson Branch Road (Carroll Mill Road to end); Carroll Mill Road (Triadelphia Road to Folly Quarter Road); Fawn River Way (Carroll Mill Road to end); Mount Albert Road (Carroll Mill Road to end); Pans Spring Court (Benson Branch Road to end); Triadelphia Mill Road (Green Bridge Road to Highland Road); and Woodspurge Court (Carroll Mill Road to end).
Sykesville: Underwood Road (from Forsythe Road to Old Frederick Road).
West Friendship: Barley Field Way (Marriottsville Road to end), Pfefferkorn Road (Route 32 circle to Route 144); and Sand Hill Road (Route 99 to Route 144).
Signs and flagging operations will be in place to direct traffic as needed as lane shifts can be expected 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.
