River Road Bridge Reconstruction
River Road Bridge (B-0184) was severely damaged during the May 2018 flood which hit both Baltimore and Howard counties. River Road was immediately closed to traffic and contractors then demolished the remaining structure in the weeks following the storm. The Department of Public Works and Transportation and Transportation and Transportation has been planning a replacement bridge and County engineers expect construction to begin in 2019 with a completion date this summer.

Thistle Road Slope Repair and Road Reconstruction
Thistle Road was also closed because of the May floods, but residential access has remained open for the northern part of the road. Repairs are under consideration and a reopening is expected by the middle of 2019.
