Howard County construction project to improve a portion of Woodbine Road at Weller Drive (this is about 0.5 miles South of intersection of Woodbine/Rt 94 and Old Frederick Rd/Rt 144)  in Woodbine is scheduled to begin on or about Monday, June 13.  Improvements to the roadway will include: the removal of existing pavement; construction of new pavement, a retaining wall, a drainage system and a storm water management pond; replacement of curb and gutter; and grading of associated roadside.  Weather permitting, the project is expected to be completed by late December 2011. Temporary lane closures are expected, signs will be in place to direct traffic as needed and to advise motorists of the construction. Additionally, a recorded message at 410-313-3638 will carry details and updates.

In addition Highways has tentatively identified some paving and patching projects - all dependent on funding and weather. Greenbridge Rd is scheduled to be repaved sometime in August. In addition, Triadelphia Mill is  also intended for repaving (if funding can be identified) later this summer. Chip and seal patching schedule for the summer has not been set yet but roads identified for patching in the Western part of the County include: Long Corner Road, Duvall Road, Florence Road, A.E. Mullinix Road, Union Chapel Road, Millers Mill Road, Underwood Road, Gaither Road, Livestock Road and Carroll Mill Road. Since all of these roads are heavily used by cyclists we'll keep pushing communication as soon as we receive it.
