A Major Water Project on Belair Road
County contractors began work on a major water project on Belair Road in October 2008. Crews are putting down almost 9,000 feet of 24-inch water line between White Marsh Boulevard and Ebenezer Road. The new line will increase capacity, improve water pressure and help insure adequate fire protection for the area. Construction, say engineers, will take more than a year with much of the work scheduled during the night, to minimize traffic congestion on the busy corridor. The project, now 80 percent completed, is expected to cost $5.5 million, is now 95 percent complete with only cleaning and lining left to do.

Honeygo Blvd. to Open Soon
The final phase of Honeygo Boulevard, connecting the new four-lane boulevard to Belair Road, will be ready for traffic soon, say Baltimore County's engineers. The last stretch of the boulevard, which is approximately 1,000 feet long, was started in April, (2008) and the final resurfacing was finished before the end of December. The traffic signal at the Belair Road intersection will function by mid-January. The total cost was $4 million.
