Harford County Road Project Wins State Award

JOPPATOWNE, MD — The Harford County Department of Public Works has earned the 2023 Excellence in Paving Award from the Maryland Asphalt Association and Maryland State Highway Administration.

The team was recognized for their work in repairing and resurfacing 21 streets in Joppatowne’s Rumsey Island community. The team of judges looked for workmanship, smoothness, joints, texture and tie-ins with other pavements in determining the winning projects.

Harford County’s award in the county subdivision resurfacing category was presented during the Maryland Asphalt Association’s 60th Annual Paving Conference in Baltimore in March.

“Our dedicated team of DPW workers do their best to keep our county roads maintained for our citizens,” Harford County Executive Bob Cassilly said. “I commend our DPW teams for their design and management of this project and applaud contractor Gray and Son Inc. for their pride in their work.”
