State highway crews were scheduled this fall to patch pavement on three Baltimore County roads, including a stretch of Wilkens Avenue that runs to the Baltimore City line.
In an Oct. 7 traffic alert, the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration said work could begin as soon as Tuesday night, Oct. 13, and was expected to finish by late December, weather permitting. Overnight work was planned from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. Sundays through Thursdays, with temporary lane closures and flagging. On MD 372, Wilkens Avenue, the work runs from I-95 to the Baltimore City line and is listed at $352,000, with a start as soon as Monday night, Oct. 19.
The same official alert listed $364,000 in patching on MD 943, Warren Road, from I-83 to Beaver Dam Road, starting as soon as Oct. 13, and $430,000 on MD 25, Falls Road, from I-695 to MD 130, Greenspring Valley Road, starting as soon as Sunday night, Oct. 25. The three jobs are part of a $2.4 million contract for paving state highways in Baltimore County. The contractor is Allan Myers MD Inc. of Fallston, the administration said. Drivers were told to allow extra time, obey posted limits and move over if they can.
