(August 6, 2014) – Beginning, Sunday night, August 10, the Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) will resurface approximately two miles of MD 182 (Doctor Bird Road/Norwood Road) from north of Ednor Road to MD 108 (Olney Sandy Spring Road) in Olney, Montgomery County. Weather permitting, the project should be complete by late fall.

The work is part of $4.6 million in smaller areawide resurfacing projects that will improve driving conditions for motorists in Montgomery County.

SHA will remove the top layer of asphalt, patch, grind, resurface and install new pavement markings on MD 182 within the project limits. Crews are permitted to work overnight up to seven days a week, 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. Residents and travelers are advised that construction equipment can be loud and disruptive.

SHA will use a flagging operation, temporary signs, construction cones and barrels to guide motorists through the work zone. Drivers are asked to proceed with patience and remain alert.

As crews work to keep work zones safe, each driver needs to actively modify his or her driving style to help prevent crashes. Stay alert – look for reduced speed limits, narrow driving lanes and highway workers. Slow down and don’t follow too closely. Safer Driving. Safer Work Zones. For Everyone.
