ELLICOTT CITY, MD – A Howard County construction project to extend the sidewalk along eastbound Whiskey Bottom Road to Moonshine Hollow and Old Lantern Way in Laurel, is expected to begin on or about Monday, November 14th. This project is just one small example of the County’s commitment to implement projects included in the recently adopted Pedestrian Plan, WalkHoward: Moving Forward.
Currently, the sidewalk coming east from All Saints ends at Moonshine Hollow. This project will close the gap with an Americans with Disabilities Act compliant walking route to the next existing sidewalk, west of Old Lantern Way. Additionally, a concrete waiting pad will be added at the existing RTA bus stop at the intersection of Whiskey Bottom and Moonshine Hollow. Weather permitting, the project is expected to be completed by early December.
The project is not expected to impact the general flow of vehicular traffic; however, flaggers will be in place to direct motorists during material deliveries and during paving and striping of the eastbound lane. Signs will be posted at the project site to advise motorists and pedestrians of the work and closure.
