New Water Line for Belair Road May Cause Traffic Delays
A major water line is under constructed in Belair Road this fall to improve water capacity and pressure in the area and to insure adequate fire protection. Work began in October 2008 and may cause some traffic congestion.

Major Water Rehab for Essex and Middle River
Public Works engineers are cleaning and relining nearly 100,000' of water mains between Eastern Avenue, Stemmers Run Road, Middle River Road and Compass Road. The rehabilitation job, which includes Aero Acres and Hawthorne Park, began in June 2008 and will take about two years to complete. It's now 75 percent complete and will cost about $3 million.

Sewers for Golupski and Phillips Roads
Baltimore County is installing a sewage collection system for Golupski and Phillips road residents. The system, designed to serve 28 residences on the Back River Neck Peninsula, consists of 2000 feet of sanitary sewer line and grinder pumps. Engineers estimate that the project, needed for the area's public health, should be completed by the fall.
Information: enginrng@baltimorecountymd.govA short "spur" on Trumps Mill Road (ADC Map 4700 H4), which connects Kenwood Avenue to Lillian Holt Drive, has been used by drivers to avoid the traffic signal on Lillian Holt. The popular shortcut was responsible for several accidents and the spur was closed to traffic last year. The Department of Public Works has decided to make the closure permanent in May and the existing pavement will be removed and the space returned to grass, say traffic engineers.

Expect Road Closing on Raspe Avenue
Public Works engineers plan to close Raspe Avenue in Overlea (five blocks below Kenwood Avenue, between St. Patrick and Meadow) in order to repair a culvert this month.
