Beginning Monday, March 21, the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) will perform curb and gutter work on MD 51 (Industrial Boulevard) in Allegany County. Crews will work daily, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., on the roadway between Canal Parkway and Springdale Street. Work is expected to be completed by the end of June.

During work hours, crews will close the right lane of MD 51in both directions. Signage, cones and barrels will be in place to safely guide motorists through the work zone. A barrier wall will be installed to protect crews and the public during the work. MDOT SHA contractor Triton Construction Inc. of St. Albans, W.Va., will perform the work.  

This work is part of the final phase of the bridge deck replacement of the MD 51 bridge over MD 51/MD 61 (S. Wineow Street) and CSX Transportation rail line. For more information about the project, please click here.

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 driving, 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. Motorists in need may dial #77 on their mobile device for roadside assistance.
