The Maryland Department of Transportation’s State Highway Administration (SHA) is beginning a $1.2 million project to resurface two miles of MD 129 (Park Heights Avenue) between Autumn Drive and MD 130 (Greenspring Valley Road).
Beginning on or about Monday, July 12, contractor crews will patch, “mill” (remove the top layer) and resurface pavement with lane closures along MD 129 permitted between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Monday through Friday, and between 6 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturday. Sections of the two-lane roadway will be reduced to one lane with flagpersons controlling two-way traffic within the work zone. SHA advises motorists to plan ahead for extra travel time along MD 129 and to use caution when traveling through the highway work zone.
The MD 129 resurfacing project is made possible through Governor Martin O’Malley’s aggressive management of the requirements of the landmark American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). This project, together with other ARRA projects, is stimulating Maryland’s economy by preserving and creating thousands of jobs. The State’s contractor for the resurfacing project is Gray and Son, Inc. of Timonium, Md. Weather permitting, SHA anticipates completing the resurfacing project by late August.
