Final Stage of Bloomsbury Avenue Construction Near Completion

Catonsville residents may have noticed that Bloomsbury Avenue has re-opened to traffic, but it has been a bumpy ride.

That's because contractors working for Baltimore County are doing the final paving of the road. Public Works spokesman David Fidler said the final paving of the road will be finished next week.

The $1 million project started last September. So far crews have added sidewalks the entire length of the road and have also improved the drainage of the road.

Project Manager Ralph Wheeler said the project grew beyond Bloomsbury Avenue to include improving sidewalks at Asylum Lane and adding them to Hilltop Road.
