Friday’s high winds continue to take their toll on local roadways.

Authorities say a portion of Belair Road has been shut down in Perry Hall.

At just after 3 p.m., Belair Road was closed between Joppa Road and Silver Spring Boulevard due to a leaning light pole.

Motorists should use an alternate route.

Friday’s high winds have caused numerous trees to come down, forced bridge closures, and contributed to at least one fatality.
