Detour signs will be posted directing motorists to use US 50. See map below. Access to homes and businesses in the area will be always maintained. Per agreement with the State Highway Administration, Shore Regional Health will reconstruct this section of MD 662, integrating Regional Medical Center access roads into the new alignment. MD 662 will reopen to through traffic in May 2025.

Officials from State Highway Administration, Shore Regional Health, Talbot County and the Town of Easton have been working closely for several months on a closure agreement that allows medical center construction to begin on schedule, without compromising local emergency services. The agreement also provides assurances that MD 662 will be reconstructed to state specifications, concurrent with medical center construction to ensure timely reopening.
