(July 7, 2010) - The Maryland Department of Transportation’s State Highway Administration (SHA) will next week begin a $1.2 million project to resurface two miles of MD 129 (Park Heights Avenue) between south of I-695 at Autumn Drive and north of I-695 at MD 130 (Greenspring Valley Road).  Weather permitting, SHA anticipates completing the resurfacing by late August. 

 

Beginning on or about Monday, July 12, crews will patch, “mill” (remove the top layer) and resurface pavement with single-lane closures permitted between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 6 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Saturday. 

Sections of the two-lane roadway may be reduced to one lane with flagpersons controlling two-way traffic within the work zone. 

 

SHA advises motorists to plan ahead for extra travel time along this section of Park Heights Avenue this summer. 

The MD 129 resurfacing project is made possible through Governor Martin O’Malley’s aggressive management of the requirements of the landmark American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).  This project, together with other ARRA projects, is stimulating Maryland’s economy by supporting hundreds of jobs. 

 

The State’s contractor for the resurfacing project is Gray and Son, Inc. of Timonium, Md.  For more information about highway maintenance activities along MD 129, MD 130 or other State routes in Baltimore County, citizens may contact SHA’s District Four Office – Maintenance Division at 410-229-2360, toll free at 1-866-998-0367 or by email at shadistrict4@sha.state.md.us. 

 

SHA reminds motorists that when workers are on the road, THINK ORANGE, which is the color of construction signs, barrels and warning devices.  Please slow down, stay alert and expect the unexpected.  Choose safety for life and to make work zone safety your business at www.choosesafetyforlife.com
