Texas Force Main Extension and Diversion Sewer Rehabilitation
The Department of Public Works and Transportation began rehabilitating 2,100 linear feet of 33-inch sanitary sewer force main in Cockeysville at a cost of $4,487,000. The project limits are from Edgemoore Road at Timonium Road to Greenmeadow Drive, terminating at Cinder Road. A small traffic diversion will be set up at Cinder Road and Tree Lane during construction. Expect lane closures and minor traffic disruptions during this time. A temporary sanitary sewer bypass line will be buried in the roads mentioned until the project is complete. There will be three temporary access openings along the alignment of the sewer line to insert the new liner. The preliminary work began last spring. The project is 25 percent complete.

Sparks Water Pumping Station and Tank Rehabilitation

Information: Email engineering@baltimorecountymd.gov.
The Minebank at Metfield Stream
The Minebank at Metfield stream restoration will enter its second season of in-stream construction beginning the week of June 17. Approximately 1,000 linear feet of stream stabilization remains, which will be concentrated around the intersection of Metfield Road and Beech Hill Lane. Work here will focus on replacing degraded in-stream concrete with more natural stone structures and will keep a smaller footprint than the rest of the project to preserve high-quality surrounding forest. This is anticipated to take approximately two months to complete and landscaping will commence around October. Please direct any questions to Doug Rowland, Project Manager, at 410-887-2904 or email rrowland@baltimorecountymd.gov.
