WHAT: 

The Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) is hosting an informational meeting to inform residents of upcoming projects to replace the bridges on MD 76 (Motters Station Road) over Motters Run and MD 140 (Taneytown Pike) over Monocacy River in northern Frederick County. 

 

WHEN:  

Thursday July 21 between 5:30 and 7:00 p.m.

 

WHERE: 

Emmitsburg Volunteer Ambulance Company – Social Hall
17701 Creamery Road, Emmitsburg, MD 21727

 

WHY: 

In summer 2012, SHA will begin two major bridge replacement projects in northern Frederick County.  The MD 76 / Motter Run bridge will be closed to traffic during the 2012 summer break; those who attend the meeting will learn more about the vehicular and truck detours.

Work on the MD 140 / Monocacy River Bridge will also take place during summer 2012.  The bridge will remain open to traffic while construction is underway.  

 

Displays will be available to illustrate the projects and SHA staff will be available to discuss both projects and answer questions.  Attendees may to arrive at any time during the meeting and walk through the displays at their own pace.
