State Highway Administration Begins Next Phase of Rocks Road Slope Stabilization Project; Public Meeting Dec. 1

From the State Highway Administration:

The Maryland Department of Transportation’s State Highway Administration (SHA) has initiated highway design activities for MD 24 (Rocks Road) – Section G in Harford County.

Section G, one of seven sections of MD 24 that require repair, extends approximately 700 to 2,200 feet south of Sharon Road. The purpose of this project is to remediate the slopes that support MD 24 and to repair the roadway and associated features. Construction on the first section, Section A (between the Deer Creek Bridge and 1,000 feet south of the bridge) was completed in spring 2015.

Section G will require the reconstruction of MD 24 while minimizing impacts on Deer Creek. The proposed design for this section of MD 24 includes a two-lane roadway and new traffic barriers along northbound MD 24.

For additional information, you are invited to attend a public meeting about MD 24 Section G on Tuesday, December 1, 2015, at North Harford High School. The meeting notice is attached; please feel free to share it with others in the community.

We encourage you to attend the public meeting. The meeting will acquaint attendees with Section G and provide an opportunity to discuss the proposed project design. Maps and displays will provide project information, and SHA and other agency representatives will be available to answer project-related questions.
