Water Line Extension at Glencliffe Circle and Old Court Road
Crews will extend water service to 12 houses on Glencliffe Circle and Old Court Road this year. The new line, which will cost about $400,000, will run 1,783 feet.
Information: Email engineering@baltimorecountymd.gov.
Pedestrian Study for Pikesville
Baltimore County has hired a consultant to perform a desk audit in Pikesville to assess pedestrian conditions and to learn if improvements can and should be made to enhance traffic engineering design for walkers, bicyclists and drivers. The consultant will be reviewing accident histories and the examination will include all facets of traffic control, including signals and crosswalks, taking note of bicycle and pedestrian movements as well. One of the goals of the study, say engineers, is to create a context in which to safely coordinate crosswalks with present and future traffic conditions. The project is temporarily on hold.
Water Line on Falls Road
The Department of Public Works and Transportation plans to replace 11,000 feet of water line on Falls Road between the Beltway and the City line. The project, which will cost approximately $14 million, was advertised this fall. It is scheduled for construction early this year. The replacement of the line—parts of which are more than 90 years old—will improve the reliability of the system. Much of the construction will be done between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m., and ingress and egress will be coordinated and provided to all property owners within the project's limits.
Information: Email engineering@baltimorecountymd.gov.
Deck Replacement on Circle Road Bridge
Baltimore County’s contractors will begin work on the Circle Road Bridge (Bridge B-0084) over Roland Run this fall. Construction is scheduled to start this month and to take about four weeks to complete. Traffic will not be interrupted during the work, according to engineers. Circle Road was in the news six years ago when the County replaced structural beams and when traffic was intermittently restricted during construction hours.
Information: Email engineering@baltimorecountymd.gov.
Water in the Dumbarton Neighborhood, Pikesville
Baltimore County is relining and cleaning more than 16,000 feet of water line under 27 streets in Dumbarton. The project, managed in two phases, is about 55 percent complete and will cost $4.2 million. Work is currently on hold.
