6 Months for a bridge replacement? Is this some sort of joke? Oh wait the county must be doing the work and not a real construction company.I’m surprised with road crews only getting in a good 4 hours a day on the job they can get it done that fast.
They closed down Philadelphia Road for well over 9 months when they replaced the bridge there. Our tax dollars at work. Never mind the technology available now that could be used to quickly replace the bridge and reopen the road. Never mind the added cost of time, fuel, and environmental impact that was a result of the incompetence of Harford County Government and the MD State Highway Administration.
The businesses on Route 22 have been dealing with the never ending construction now for months. Construction that has direct impact on their businesses because their main lunch customers (APG Employees) don’t frequent their business because of the tie ups in traffic.
Its criminal and there must be a better way to hold these agencies and contractors accountable.
Name game….Donald
