Bridge Repair, Old Court Road Bridge B-0109

Baltimore County is repairing Bridge B-0109 (Old Court Road over Scotts Level Branch). The work is approximately 65 percent complete and is expected to be finished in late July or early August. The project will primarily replace the roadway surface and repair some substructure. Repairs to the two-lane concrete slab bridge will cost $700,000. During construction, the road will not be closed.

New Water Line on Reisterstown Road

Baltimore County is installing a new 36-inch diameter water line on Reisterstown Road between Rosewood Avenue and Pleasant Hill Road. Work on the new supply main, designed to serve the Owings Mills and Reisterstown area, is 99 percent complete. Tie-ins to the line remain to be completed. The cost is about $9 million.

Rehabilitation for Old Court Road Bridge B-0237
