ELLICOTT CITY, MD – A Howard County construction project to install speed humps, signs, and optical speed bar pavement markings on Loudon Avenue in Elkridge, is scheduled to begin on or about Monday, April 27th. The project will implement strategies available in the County’s updated Howard County Neighborhood Traffic Calming Policy, to combat excessive vehicular speeds along the roadway. Weather permitting, the project is expected to be completed by late May 2026.
In Howard County, we are committed to making our streets and roads safer for pedestrians, bicyclists, drivers, and all road users. Through our Neighborhood Traffic Calming program, we are bringing more traffic calming solutions to neighborhoods to slow down speeds and improve safety across the county. “When complete, this neighborhood street in Elkridge will be safer and more friendly for all.
Signs will be posted to alert motorists and residents of the construction, and flagging operations will be in place to direct traffic through the work zone, as only one lane of traffic will be open during construction hours, Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
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.
