MIDDLE RIVER, MD—Motorists should be aware of a resurfacing project that will soon begin in eastern Baltimore County.

The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration will begin a project on Wednesday, April 20, to mill and resurface asphalt pavement on westbound US 40 (Pulaski Highway) in eastern Baltimore County. Contractor crews will work between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, along 1.2 miles of westbound US 40 from Campbell Boulevard to MD 700 (Martin Boulevard).

The $600,000 project is scheduled for completion in late May, weather permitting. Temporary traffic signs, reflective barrels and electronic arrow boards will alert and guide motorists through the work zone. MDOT SHA contractor Gray and Son Inc., of Timonium, is handling the paving project.

MDOT SHA advises drivers to stay alert, focus on driving, and look for reduced speed limits, as well as other driving pattern changes.

Motorists in need may dial #77 on their mobile device for roadside assistance.
