Dorsey Run Road Closure Possible For Sewer Line Installation Project

HOWARD COUNTY, MD — A construction project has started that calls for the installation of approximately 2,200 feet of a new 36-inch sewer line from the county department of public works’ Dorsey Run Pumping Station, located at the end of Patuxent Range Road (east) in Jessup, north along the Dorsey Run River and CSX railroad tracks.

Weather permitting, the project will wrap up in December 2025.

The new sewer line will increase the capacity of the overall system and also will include the installation of additional sewer manholes, an underground diversion structure and miscellaneous accessories.

Dorsey Run Road near the railroad tracks may close for approximately two weeks, but only during the overnight from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. The county will inform residents of this closure if necessary, officials said.
