Abingdon Road Bridge To Close For 8 Weeks

ABINGDON, MD — The Harford County Department of Public Works will close the Abingdon Road Bridge over the CSX railroad tracks, located between U.S. 40 (Pulaski Highway) and Shrewsbury Road, starting June 16.

The road will remain closed for approximately eight weeks.

The closure is required for utility companies to relocate their infrastructure in preparation for a future bridge replacement project. During the closure, the DPW Highway Maintenance Division will also perform routine bridge maintenance.

Emergency vehicles and school buses will not be allowed across the bridge at any time. Drivers who use this bridge should follow the detour signs or make other arrangements.

In February, the Abingdon Road Bridge over the CSX railroad tracks between Shrewsbury Road and Route 40 in Abingdon has reopened to traffic after Harford County Department of Public Works crews finished patching potholes and installing and resetting steel plates on the bridge.

Several other roads across Harford County are currently closed or are going to close this month. These projects and closures can be seen online.
