Crews began rebuilding the Mount Vista Road Bridge over Sweathouse Branch near Harford Road in June. Work on the two-lane bridge will take about ten months and cost $875,000. Completion is expected in February of 2009. Information: enginrng@baltimorecountymd.gov Back to top The two-lane, Big Falls Road Bridge (No. 73) over the Gunpowder was closed a year ago in order to completely replace the aging structure.

The concrete bridge, located at Baldwin Mill and Fork Roads, has a span of nine feet. Work, estimated to cost $90,000, should take a month and will not require closing the road, say engineers. Information: enginrng@baltimorecountymd.gov Back to top The County's traffic engineers are currently discussing traffic calming measures with the Glyndon community and are exploring the possibility of removing stop signs and replacing them with traffic calming devices. A community meeting at the end of June indicated that there was general support for the proposal and residents are now in the process of securing signatures from 75 percent of the neighborhood.

Information: 410-887-3554 Back to top Until recently, only the Eastern Sanitary Landfill Solid Waste Management Facility (ESL) in White Marsh accepted compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) from County residents. The collection program now includes two more locations Western Acceptance Facility (WAF) in Halethorpe and the Baltimore County Resource Recovery Facility (BCRRF) in Cockeysville. In addition to CFLs, these facilities will now accept fluorescent bulbs, mercury thermometers and thermostats, and lead-acid and rechargeable batteries. Recycling these materials helps to keep potentially dangerous substances, including mercury, out of landfills. Commercial loads of these materials are not accepted at any of Baltimore County's three drop-off centers. Information: View Facilities or call 410-887-2000 Back to top
