ELLICOTT CITY, MD – A Howard County construction project to install water transmission mains along southbound Cedar Lane in the Hickory Ridge Village of Columbia is scheduled to begin on or about Monday, March 11. The project will include the installation of approximately 1,000 linear feet of 12-inch and 16-inch diameter PVC water mains between Hilltop Lane and Cedar Wood Drive. Trench repair, milling and paving, will also take place. The new mains will serve the future Cedar Lane water pumping station. Weather permitting, the project is expected to be completed by late May.
During the project, the two southbound lanes of Cedar Lane will be closed Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. A single lane of southbound traffic will be diverted to the center turn lane, while the two northbound lanes will remain open. Flagging operations will be in place to direct traffic as needed, and signs will be posted to alert motorists of the construction.
While the County and its transportation partners work hard to maintain safe traffic mobility in work zones, drivers are reminded to stay alert and look for reduced speed limits, narrow driving lanes and highway workers. Please slow down and don’t follow too closely when traveling through a work zone. Remember, work zone safety is in your hands.
