Marine Oaks Pumping Station—Scheduled for Improvements

Baltimore County will upgrade the Marine Oaks Sewer Pumping Station in Essex. The improvements to the station are estimated to cost $1,584,537 and will take about a year to complete.

Information: Email enginrng@baltimorecountymd.gov.

Essex Sewage Pumping Station to be Improved

Baltimore County is upgrading the Thompson Boulevard Sewer Pumping Station on Back River, located at 925 Thompson Boulevard in Essex. Work began in September 2017 and will require about a year to complete, according to Public Works engineers. The project, costing $2,248,000, complies with the County’s Federal Consent Decree, which will improve local utilities and help prevent sanitary sewer overflow. It is about 11 percent complete. 

Information: Email enginrng@baltimorecountymd.gov.

Water: Turkey Point

Baltimore County has begun replacing 16,000 feet of old cast iron water pipe on the Turkey Point Peninsula. The old, cast iron line has frequently failed in recent years and is being replaced with ductile iron pipe. The project, costing $5.5 million, is expected to be completed by the end of 2018. It is 90 percent complete.

Information: Email enginrng@baltimorecountymd.gov.

Sewers: Herring Run Structural Rehabilitation Phase 1

Baltimore County is rehabilitating 81,000 feet of sewer line spread throughout Council Districts 5 and 6. Work recently began and has progressed about 25 percent toward completion. It is expected to be completed in a year and a half and cost $4,640,123.

Information: Email enginrng@baltimorecountymd.gov.

The Future Fullerton Reservoirs

On February 7, 2017 the Department of Public Works and Transportation broke ground on the Fullerton Reservoirs—three have been planned for the site. Construction is expected to take about three years and cost $80.1 million. Engineers estimate that the project is now about 44 percent complete. The construction site is bounded by Ridge Road, Bucks School House Road and Perry Hall Boulevard.

Information: Email enginrng@baltimorecountymd.gov or call 410-887-3783.

Mohrs Lane Bridge

The Mohrs Lane Bridge over the CSX Railroad, north of Pulaski Highway, was closed in 2007 because of structural deterioration. Demolition was completed by CSX in March 2011—at no cost to Baltimore County, which has assumed ownership and plans to rebuild the span. A new bridge is currently being designed with construction scheduled to begin by late 2018. This bridge will be part of the future Campbell Boulevard Corridor.
