Motorists Can Expect Single-Lane Closures, Flagging Operation Through June
(May 18, 2022) – The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration will begin a paving project Monday, May 22, along MD 313 (Sharptown Road) between US 50 (Ocean Gateway) and Cooper Mill Road in Wicomico County. The project is expected to be completed by the end of June, weather permitting.
Work will be conducted 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, with single-lane closures and a flagging operation in place. Contractor Allan Myers MD Inc. will perform the work. Cones and arrow boards will help guide motorists safely through the work zone. Hot asphalt may require up to two hours to cool before drivers and pedestrians can safely cross the new road surface.
The State Highway Administration understands roadwork can be an inconvenience for some motorists, but is necessary to maintain a safe and reliable transportation system. Drivers are asked to stay alert, stay focused, look for reduced speed limits as well as driving pattern changes and slow down in work zones.
Motorists in need may dial #77 on their mobile devices for roadside assistance.
