SHA will rehabilitate the bridge along MD 109 over Little Bennett Creek in Montgomery County. The project involves removing and replacing the concrete bridge deck, cleaning and painting the steel beams, and repairing portions of the abutments. During construction, traffic will be reduced to one lane with traffic flow controlled by a temporary traffic signal. Construction is scheduled to begin spring 2009. Weather permitting, it will be complete in late fall 2009.
