ELLICOTT CITY, MD – A Howard County construction project to install a new storm drain system along 3450 Court House Drive near Ellicott Mills Drive in Ellicott City, is scheduled to begin on or about Monday, November 17th. In addition to installing a new storm drain system, the project also includes curb and gutter improvements, roadway paving, and roadway slope correction. Weather permitting, the project is expected to be completed by late December 2025.
Signs will be posted in the project area to alert residents and pedestrians of the construction work, which is expected to take place Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Flagging operations will also be in place to direct traffic through the work zone when needed, particularly when construction vehicles are entering and exiting the sloped area along Ellicott Mills Drive. Additionally, 100 feet of sidewalk along Ellicott Mills Drive, located just south of Court House Drive, will be closed 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.
