Vernon Road Bridge Construction To Finish in November

The Baltimore County Department of Public Works now estimates that repairs on the Vernon Road bridge in White Hall will be completed in November.

Construction, which started in June, was initially by August or September.

Kevin Sabolcik, a Public Works engineer, said the county had originally planned to complete the project through an accelerated program and is no longer doing so because it would have been more costly. He said repairs of this magnitude typically take around 4 to 5 months.

During construction, a section of , between Graystone and Garrett roads, is closed and traffic is being detoured to an alternate route.

Sabolcik said it is likely that the road will open up before construction is complete.

Repairs to the 90-year-old bridge, which was determined to be structurally deficient by the department, are estimated to cost $700,000.
