​Daytime Project Scheduled for Completion in Late September 

(September 3, 2024) – The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration is resurfacing a section of MD 243 (Newtown Neck Road) ​between Bull Road and Bayside Road in Saint Mary’s County. The project is expected to be complete by late September, weather permitting.

The State Highway Administration’s contractor, F.O. Day Company of Rockville, will guide motorists using a daytime flagging operation along MD 243 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays. Drivers should plan extra commuting time during the project.

The State Highway Administration works hard to maintain safe traffic mobility in work zones for our crews as well as our customers. Drivers are reminded to remain alert for lane shifts and reduce speeds when traveling through the work zone.
