Work includes demolition and replacement of the existing two-lane bridge originally constructed in 1963. The new structure will be a single-span concrete bridge and will be slightly wider than the existing bridge. As the structure connects two counties, some work will occur just over the county line on Covington Road in Charles County. 

The project is expected to be completed by the end of this year, weather permitting, and will include roadway reconstruction and paving along MD 382.

During portions of construction, a detour will be in place to allow crews to expedite the process while providing a safe work environment. The detour will be in effect for approximately two months, weather permitting, and is expected to begin in June. Portable dynamic message signs will notify motorists of upcoming work, traffic pattern changes and detours. Motorists are encouraged to plan for extra travel time when driving to and from the area.

Freysinnet Inc. of Sterling, Va., will perform the work. For more details, visit the MD 382 Bridge Replacement Project Portal page. Customers with questions may contact the State Highway Administration District 3 Office at 301-513-7300 or toll-free at 1-800-749-0737.

 

The State Highway Administration appreciates customers’ patience during construction as we work to improve Maryland’s transportation system. Drivers are asked to stay alert and focused and be aware of reduced speed limits and driving patterns. Slow down and move over in work zones. It’s the law. Motorists in need may dial #77 on their mobile devices for assistance.

   

This project is consistent with the Maryland Department of Transportation’s Serious About Safety initiative, a department-wide commitment to advance improvements that drive safety goals and save lives.
