Bridge Near Third Mine Branch Reduced to One Lane
A nine-foot-long, concrete-slab bridge (Bridge B-0757) on Stablersville Road, just west of Graystone Road, is in need of repair and was reduced to one lane of traffic by Department of Public Works structural engineers more than two years ago. The bridge is scheduled to be repaired and County engineers have begun to scope out options.

Gores Mill Road Bridges
The concrete bridges that span Little Falls just south of the Morris Meadows Recreation Farm (Bridges B-0136, B-0137, B-0138 and B-0346) were constructed more than 80 years ago and need replacement or renovation. Work began in August 2017 and should be completed by this summer. Work on the project is currently suspended in accordance with environmental permitting requirements. The project, estimated to cost $3.6 million, is 80 percent complete.
