Alley Construction Coming

During the first week of March, Baltimore County began constructing three alleys in Pikesville for residents on Colonial Road, Howard Avenue and Salem Court. Colonial Road has been completed. The total construction project (which will be 2,840 feet long and will cost $293,074) is now about 75 percent complete. All three alleys should be finished by the summer. During alley construction, residents will be notified about temporary changes to trash and recycling collection.

Information: Email engineering@baltimorecountymd.gov.

Pedestrian Study for Pikesville

The Pikesville Pedestrian Study has been completed. The study assesses pedestrian conditions and develops designs to accommodate walkers, drivers and cyclists. Recommendations have been categorized into short-, medium- and long-term solutions. They are being reviewed to determine feasibility of costs and implementation. The Department of Public Works and Transportation expects to implement this summer some short-term recommendations suggested from the Pedestrian Study.

Information: Questions should be directed to the Division of Construction Contracts, Department of Public Works and Transportation at 410-887-3531.

Water Line Construction on Falls Road

The Department of Public Works and Transportation is replacing more than 11,000 feet of water line on Falls Road between the Baltimore City line and Brightfield Road near Interstate 695. The project, which will cost approximately $10,500,000, is about two percent complete. The entire project will require approximately two years to complete. The replacement of the line—sections of which are more than 90 years old—will improve the reliability of the system. Much of the construction will be done between 9 a.m. and 5 a.m., and ingress and egress will be coordinated with (and provided for) all property owners. Falls Road will not be closed during construction, but there will be some lane closures during the day to accommodate construction schedules. Falls Road carries about 18,000 cars daily. There will be traffic delays.

Information: Questions should be directed to the Division of Construction Contracts at 410-887-3531.
