Traffic Alert: Weekend Closure On Jumpers Hole Road

PASADENA, MD – Beginning at 7 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 8, the Maryland Department of Transportation's State Highway Administration (SHA) will close Jumpers Hole Road under the MD 100 bridge in Pasadena.

The closure and detour of Jumpers Hole Road is necessary for crews to complete repairs as the result of a recent truck crash, the SHA said. All lanes of Jumpers Hole Road will reopen no later than 5 a.m. Monday.

Motorists will be directed to MD 177 (Mountain Road) and MD 2 (Ritchie Highway) during the detour. Access to businesses in the area will be maintained up to the point of the closure.

The work will occur rain or shine, SHA said. The agency's contractor for the repair is PDI Sheetz Inc. of Linthicum.

The State Highway Administration cautions drivers to mdify their driving styles to prevent crashes, especially in work zones. Stay alert and look for reduced speed limits, narrow driving lanes and highway workers. Slow down and don’t follow too closely.
