Construction on MD25/Falls Road

[Maria V]

This is one of my favorite roads, meandering from Baltimore City through Baltimore County horse country, all the way to the Carroll County Line. For the next several months, there will be repair/milling/paving occuring from the Baltimore Beltway all the way to Mt Carmel Road. Below information is from SHA District Honcho.

As part of our ongoing highway maintenance program, the State Highway
Administration (SHA) is beginning a project to repair, resurface and
improve safety along approximately 16 miles of MD 25 (Falls Road)
between the I-695 interchange and Mount Carmel Road. Five segments of
Falls Road will be repaired, milled and repaved during the next several
months as weather conditions permit. The entire $4 million project is
slated for completion in late Spring 2009.

Nighttime work is underway on the first segment, from I-695 to north of
Seminary Avenue. Lane closures with flagging operations will occur
nightly Sunday - Thursday between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. (Repairs, Milling
and Repaving Fall 2008)

The second segment is from North of Seminary Avenue to Padonia Road.
Lane closures with flagging operations will occur daily Monday - Friday
between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. (Repairs Fall 2008, Milling and Paving Spring
2009)

The third segment is from Padonia Road to Shawan Road. Lane closures
with flagging operations will occur daily Monday - Friday between 9 a.m.
and 3 p.m. (Repairs Fall 2008; Milling and Paving Spring 2009)

The fourth segment is from Shawan Road to Stringtown Road. Lane closures
with flagging operations will occur daily Monday - Friday between 9 a.m.
and 3 p.m. (Repairs Fall 2008; Milling and Paving Spring 2009)

The fifth segment is from Stringtown Road to Mount Carmel Road. Lane
closures with flagging operations will occur daily Monday - Friday
between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. (Repairs
Fall 2008; Milling and Paving Spring 2009)
