Baltimore County is required periodically to inspect all bridges on county roads. If these bridges are found to need repairs or replacement, it may be necessary to temporarily close the road and divert traffic.
In addition, roads may need to be closed and traffic diverted due to regular maintenance and improvements.
We attempt to provide up-to-date information on any roads currently closed due to road repair and/or improvement, or bridge repair and/or replacement through notices in all local newspapers and through news releases on the county's web site, under the News tab.
Following is a list of roads currently closed:
Mt. Vista Road
Mt. Vista Road between Belair and Harford roads will close on Monday, April 21, 2008 at 9 am in order to rebuild the bridge over Sweathouse Branch. Construction is expected to take nine months during which time traffic will be detoured to Harford Road, Sunshine Avenue and Belair Road. The road will be reopened on January 21, 2009.
Big Falls Road
Big Falls Road Bridge (ADC Map 7-J8) which spans the Gunpowder Falls will be closed beginning Wednesday, September 5, in order to completely replace the aging structure. Demolition and reconstruction are expected to take twelve to fourteen months and the County's structural engineers hope to open the new bridge in early November 2008. During construction traffic will be detoured from Big Falls to Bernoudy to Wiseburg to York and to Monkton roads.
