​Motorists Can Expect Delays Through Late Spring in Areas of Dorchester, Somerset, Worcester and Wicomico Counties 

(March 28, 2023) – The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration will perform asphalt patching in the coming weeks to improve multiple highways in Dorchester, Somerset, Worcester and Wicomico counties. The pavement improvement projects will be complete in late spring, weather permitting.  

The State Highway Administration understands the work will result in some delays, but is necessary to maintain a safe and reliable highway system. Contractor Team Cam LLC, of Linthicum Heights, will use temporary signs, electronic arrow boards and barrels to alert and guide motorists through the work zones. Motorists should allow additional travel time and are asked to move over when possible, slow down and pay close attention in work zones. 

Starting April 3, crews will begin working along US 13 in Wicomico County and continue to improve the following roads:
