ELLICOTT CITY, MD – A Howard County construction project to perform preventative bridge maintenance on Tamar Drive over Elkhorn Branch trail between Phelps Luck Road and Sweet Wind Place in Columbia, is scheduled to begin on or about Monday, July 7th. Weather permitting, the project is expected to be completed by May 2026.
Signs will be posted to alert motorists and residents of the work as the existing four travel lanes within the project limits, will be reduced to two lanes for the duration of the project.
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.
This project is a part of the County’s Rehabilitation of Nine Bridge Structures project funded under the Federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act program.
