​New Sidewalk Connects Bicyclists, Pedestrians to Town of Hurlock 

(October 16, 2024) - The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration has completed a $1.1 million project to install new bicycle-pedestrian facilities in Dorchester County along MD 392 (Delaware Avenue) from MD 331 (Main Street) to west of Taylor Avenue in the Town of Hurlock. 

Construction on the project began this spring and included:

  • ​installing a new Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant sidewalk along MD 392 that connects to an existing asphalt path;
  • updating drainage and stormwater management facilities;
  • upgrading signage, landscaping and pavement markings and
  • replacing curb and gutter.

Completion of the project provides safer and more accessible transportation alternatives for pedestrians and bicyclists, improving mobility for Dorchester County residents.

The State Highway Administration appreciates customers’ patience as we work to improve Maryland’s transportation system. Motorists are asked to stay alert, stay focused and be aware of reduced speed limits and changing driving patterns. Slow down and move over in work zones. It’s the law. 

​Motorists in need may dial #77 on their mobile devices for roadside assistance.
