ELLICOTT CITY, MD – A Howard County construction project to extend the water main at the intersection of US 1 (Washington Boulevard) and MD 103 (Dorsey Road) in Elkridge, is expected to begin on or about Monday, June 17. Approximately 644 linear feet of 16-inch water main will be installed south of the intersection along Dorsey Road to service a proposed, adjacent apartment complex. Weather permitting, the project is expected to be completed by late August.
Flagging operations will be in place to direct traffic as needed and signs will be posted to alert residents and motorists of the construction, as lane shifts can be expected during construction hours, Monday through Friday, 9:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. One lane of Dorsey Road in each direction near the project will be closed during construction hours. Additionally, toward the conclusion of the project, paving is expected to take place Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 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.
