Road Work On MD 152 Begins Sunday Night

BEL AIR, MD — Work to patch pavement on about four miles of MD 152 (Mountain Road) between I-95 and US 1 (Belair Road) in the Joppa area will start Sunday night, March 23, according to the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration.

The MD 152 project is expected to be completed in late May, weather permitting, according to a news release.

Contractor crews will work overnights Sundays through Thursdays between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. to patch sections of asphalt pavement as needed along MD 152. Drivers can expect single-lane closures with flagging operations along both directions of MD 152 while work is taking place.

The State Highway Administration’s contractor, Allan Myers MD Inc. of Fallston, will also use temporary traffic signs, cones and barrels to guide drivers through the work zone.

The $630,000 project is part of an areawide SHA maintenance contract to patch, mill and resurface pavements on state highways within Harford County.

Motorcyclists should be aware of uneven pavement surfaces during the pavement patching work. The SHA works hard to maintain safe traffic mobility in work zones for our crews as well as our customers. Drivers need to stay alert, focus on driving, and look for reduced speed limits as well as other traffic pattern changes.
