BALTIMORE, MD—The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration will start several paving projects on state highways within Baltimore County this week. All projects are weather permitting and some projects may have to be rescheduled due to inclement weather.

The following projects include asphalt or concrete pavement patching and resurfacing:

Crews will work at night, Sundays through Thursdays, 8 p.m.-5 a.m. Barrels, arrow boards and cones will guide drivers through the work zone. The project should be completed by the end of the month.
