Temporary Lane Closures to Occur

(November 10, 2009) – On November 19, the Maryland Department of Transportation’s State Highway Administration (SHA) will perform a routine inspection of the Chester River Bridge, which carries MD 213 between Queen Anne’s and Kent counties.

Using single-lane closures, crews will inspect the drawbridge span from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Flaggers and construction signs will guide motorists through the workzone. Motorists are advised to plan for extra travel time.

When driving through the work zone, THINK ORANGE, which is the color of construction signs, barrels and warning devices.  Please slow down, stay alert and expect the unexpected.  Customers with questions about this project or any other State-numbered routes in Kent and Queen Anne’s counties may contact SHA’s District 2 Office at 410-778-3061 or toll-free at 1-800-637-9740. SHA thanks motorists for their patience and cooperation and reminds them to use caution when driving through the work zone.
