Road Work, Sidewalk Repair To Cause Traffic Delays In HoCo

SAVAGE, MD — A project to improve pedestrian access and safety while providing "vehicular traffic calming" along a portion of Baltimore Street in Savage will begin on Monday. Improvements to the curb, sidewalk and drainage along Baltimore Street between Fair Street and Williams Street will be installed and the roadway will be resurfaced. Weather permitting, the project should be completed by late November.

"We continue working to ensure Howard County is a place where people of all backgrounds and abilities can travel freely, safely and comfortably," Howard County Executive Calvin Ball said. "As part of our Complete Streets resolution, these improvements will allow for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers to all access and utilize our streets and provide critical connections to our parks and retail in Savage."

Signs and flagging operations will be in place to direct traffic as needed, since temporary lane closures can be expected during construction hours, Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
