(August 14, 2025) - The Maryland State Highway Administration will resurface a section of southbound MD 5 (Three Notch Road) between MD 6 (New Market Turner Road) and MD 235 starting as soon as the week of August 18. The project should be completed by early October, weather permitting.  

Crews will remove the top layer of asphalt, patch, and resurface MD 5 within the project limits. Drivers should expect nighttime single-lane closures from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. Sundays through Thursdays. Work hours are subject to change.  

The State Highway Administration’s contractor F. O. Day Company Inc. of Rockville will use portable variable message signs, temporary traffic signs and barrels to guide motorists through the work zone.   

Customers with questions about this roadwork may contact the District 5 Office at 410-841-1000 or toll-free at 1-800-331-5603. The State Highway Administration is Serious about Safety and asks drivers to slow down in the work zone for the safety of all drivers and the crews working to improve our roadways.
