​Daytime Project Covers Three Miles of Roadway Near Taneytown 

(July 6, 2023) - The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration will begin a project next week to repair about three miles of pavement on MD 140 (Taneytown Pike) between Mayberry Road and the roundabout at MD 832 (Old Taneytown Road) near Taneytown in Carroll County. This work was previously scheduled to take place in April but it was rescheduled due to weather.   

Crews will work weekdays, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with a flagging operation in place during work hours. Both directions of travel will be maintained on MD 140. The project is expected to take two weeks to complete, weather permitting.    

State Highway Administration contractor, C.J. Miller LLC, based in Hampstead, will use electronic signs, barrels and cones to alert motorists about the project and guide them through the work zone. Motorists are asked to be patient and stay alert in the work zone.   

This pavement repair is separate from the State Highway Administration’s ongoing intersection improvement project on MD 140 at Mayberry Road. Details on that project are available here​. ​​
