​On Monday, Motorists Should Expect Traffic Delays During Work Hours 

(September 4, 2024) – The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration will begin a resurfacing project to improve the ride quality on US 13 northbound (Salisbury Bypass) from US 13 Business (S. Fruitland Blvd.) to MD 12 (Snow Hill Road) ​next week. This work should be completed by mid-November, weather permitting.  

On Monday, September 9, crews will begin milling (removing the top layer of asphalt) the roadway to prepare for paving. Crews will continue to work weekdays, 6:30 a.m.– 6 p.m., until expected completion. During work hours, motorists can expect single-lane closures and flagging operations throughout the duration of the project.    

Contractor Allan Myers of Dover, Delaware, will use arrow boards, cones and flaggers to safely guide motorists through the work zone. Drivers should expect major traffic impacts with significant delays during work hours.  

The State Highway Administration works hard to maintain safe traffic mobility in work zones for our crews as well as our customers. Drivers need to stay alert, focus on driving, and look for reduced speed limits as well as other traffic pattern changes.  Hot asphalt may require up to two hours to cool before drivers and pedestrians can safely cross the new road surface. Motorcyclists are urged to be aware of uneven pavement surfaces during the project.
