​Weekday Paving Underway with Daytime Flagging Operation

(August 12, 2021) – The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) is improving the riding surface along MD 174 (Reece Road) in Anne Arundel County.

This week, crews are repairing deteriorated sections of asphalt along the eastbound and westbound MD 174 lanes on the bridge, followed by resurfacing the travel lanes. Drivers are being guided using a flagging operation 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. weekdays as crews resurface the bridge pavement. All work is weather permitting and is expected to be complete this month.

MDOT SHA’s contractor The Marksmen Company is performing the work. Customers who have questions about this project and other State-numbered routes may contact the MDOT SHA District 5 Office at 410-841-1000 or toll-free at 1-800-331-5603.

MDOT SHA works hard to maintain safe traffic mobility in work zones for our crews as well as our customers. Drivers need to stay alert, focus on driving and look for reduced speed limits, as well as other driving pattern changes. Please drive like you work here and slow down in construction zones. Motorists can dial #77 on their mobile device for roadside assistance.
