​Motorists Should Expect Traffic Delays During Work Hours 

(March 14, 2024) – The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration will begin a resurfacing project to improve the ride quality on MD 335 (Golden Hill Road) between south of Birch Dam Creek and MD 16 (Church Creek Road)​ next week in the Church Creek. The work should be completed by the end of April, weather permitting. 

On Wednesday, March 20, crews will begin milling (removing the top layer of asphalt) the roadway to prepare for paving. Crews will work weekdays, 7 a.m.-5 p.m. During work hours, motorists can expect single-lane closures throughout the duration of the project.  

The State Highway Administration’s contractor, George & Lynch of Dover, Del., will use arrow boards, cones, and flaggers to safely guide motorists through the work zone. Drivers should expect major traffic impacts with significant delays during work hours. 

The State Highway Administration understands that roadwork will inconvenience travelers and asks all motorists to please stay alert and be patient as you pass through the work zone. Hot asphalt may require up to two hours to cool before drivers and pedestrians can safely cross the new road surface. Motorcyclists are urged to be aware of uneven pavement surfaces during the project.
