(September 16, 2010) – The Maryland Department of Transportation’s State Highway Administration (SHA) next week will begin a $477,000 roadway project to resurface and repair sections of MD 302 (Barclay Road) between the town limits and Busic Church Road in Queen Anne’s County.  Weather permitting, work will begin on or about Wednesday, September 22 and be complete by early October.

SHA will resurface two and one-half miles of MD 302 east of the Town of Barclay.  SHA may close a lane or shoulder while working between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. weeknights.  SHA will place variable message signs, cones, drums and flag persons to guide motorists through the work zone. 

Statewide, ARRA-funded projects such as these are stimulating Maryland’s economy by providing and preserving thousands of jobs. They are producing long-term cost savings by extending roadway service life, while improving safety and ride quality.

SHA awarded the contract to David A. Bramble Inc. of Chestertown.  Motorists are reminded to drive at the designated speed as marked for the work zone.  To learn more about this project and others along State-maintained routes in Queen Anne’s County, citizens may call the District 2 Office at 410-778-3061 or toll-free at 1-800-637-9740.
