Reisterstown Road Water Main Project (Designated Phase III)
Baltimore County has begun a major water main project, replacing 16,000 feet of line in Reisterstown Road between Pleasant Hill Road and Stocksdale Avenue. The three miles of new 16- and 20-inch diameter line is 70 percent complete and is scheduled to be finished this spring.
Information: Email engineering@baltimorecountymd.gov.
Rolling Road, Phase 1B (Between Six Point Court and Orchard Avenue)
Construction includes roadway widening, storm drain and inlet installation, curb and gutter, and sidewalk. Overall construction is expected to last approximately one year at a cost of $6 million; however, two-way traffic will be maintained throughout the duration of the construction. By phasing the maintenance of traffic, the need to use flaggers will be nominal. Extensive temporary signage to direct traffic and allow temporary shifts during the phased construction are included.
Liberty Road 12-Inch Water Main Replacement
The Department of Public Works and Transportation will begin a one-year-long water main replacement project early this year. The project is located in the western part of Baltimore County along Liberty Road (Maryland Route 26) from Rolling Road to Washington Avenue. The project includes replacing 6,500 linear feet of six-, eight- and 12-inch water mains at a cost of $5.8 million. Working hours will be 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., Sunday to Friday.
