Phoenix Road Bridge

The federally-funded project is anticipated to begin this year and take two years to complete. The bridge will be closed during construction and detours will be established and announced as the project approaches its start, say Baltimore City sources.
Sewer Pumping Station in Cockeysville
Baltimore County is modernizing the Cockeysville Pumping Station. Work began in April. Modifications will take about a year and a half to finish and will cost $5,215,000. The project is 17 percent complete.
