Reisterstown Road Water Transmission Main Replacement (Designated Phase III)

Baltimore County is working on 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 99 percent complete and is scheduled to be finished this spring. Crews continue to install services across Reisterstown Road.

Information: Email engineering@baltimorecountymd.gov.

Falls Road Water Main Replacement and Rehabilitation

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 $10.5 million, is about 89 percent complete. The project is scheduled for completion this spring. 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 p.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.

Pikesville Pumping Station Number 2, Discharge Water Main

Baltimore County began work on a major water main project starting at the Pikesville Pumping Station located south of Interstate 695 (I-695) and east of Reisterstown Road. The new water main travels north going under I-695 to the Reservoir Circle Office Complex, then travels west along Hooks Lane and finally north along Greene Tree Road. The discharge water main is approximately 9,500 feet in length. Work includes, but is not limited to, construction of the new 42-inch and 30-inch water main, and construction of a 72-inch tunnel across I-695. The project began in 2023 and is expected to take two years to complete at a cost of $20.2 million dollars. The project is 73 percent complete.

While partnering with the State Highway Administration, the Department of Public Works and Transportation started replacing 4,200 linear feet of 12- and 16-inch water main from the Baltimore City line to Bellona Avenue.
