(March 13, 2012) - The Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) has begun a $600,000 project to repair and patch sections of pavement along MD 23 (Norrisville Road) between Harford Creamery Road and New Park Road in Harford County. Work began on Monday, March 12.

Contractor crews will repair and patch damaged sections of the pavement and will need to close lanes between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 6 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturday.  During lane closures, sections of the two-lane roadway will be reduced to one lane, with flagpersons controlling two-way traffic within the work zone. SHA advises motorists to plan ahead for extra travel time and look ahead for flagging operations in the work zone. 

SHA’s contractor for the resurfacing project is Gray and Son, Inc. of Timonium.  Weather permitting, SHA anticipates completing pavement repairs by late spring.

For more information about highway maintenance activities along MD 23 or other State routes in Harford County, citizens may contact SHA’s District 4 Office – Maintenance Division at 410-229-2360, toll free at 1-866-998-0367 or by email at shadistrict4@sha.state.md.us. 

SHA reminds motorists that when workers are on the road, THINK ORANGE, which is the color of construction signs, barrels and warning devices.  Please slow down, stay alert and expect the unexpected.  Choose safety for life and to make work zone safety your business at www.choosesafetyforlife.com
