​Project Team Seeking Feedback on Proposed Design 

(October 2, 2024) – The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration will host a public open house, 5-7 p.m., Wednesday, October 16, to gather feedback on the proposed design for an improvement project along MD 222 (Main Street) in Port Deposit, Cecil County. The open house will be held at the Cultural and Wellness Center, 100 N. Main St.
