The underground pipe replacement is part of a $1.9 million intersection safety improvement project scheduled to be completed early fall 2022.
MDOT SHA contractor Sunny Acres Landscaping Inc., of Davidsonville, is performing the work. More information on the intersection improvement project and the construction detour map can be found

MDOT SHA 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 the road and look for reduced speed limits as well as other driving pattern changes. Please drive like you work here and slow down in construction zones.
