ELLICOTT CITY, MD – A Howard County construction project to restore and stabilize approximately 1,700 linear feet of stream near 8280 Park Drive in Ellicott City is underway. The unnamed tributary of Sucker Branch to the Patapsco River has been heavily impacted by stormwater and, as a result, has eroded significantly. This project will include the use of wood and rock structures to reestablish a more natural stream, reduce instream erosion and improve water quality. Weather permitting, the project is expected to be completed by late October 2019.
The project is funded through the County’s Watershed Protection and Restoration Fund.
While the project is not expected to impact traffic flow, signs have been posted near the project to advise motorists and pedestrians of the construction.
