ELLICOTT CITY, MD – A Howard County construction project to stabilize a 24-inch exposed sewer interceptor across the Little Patuxent River near its union with the Lake Elkhorn Tributary and behind 6926 Allview Drive in Columbia, has begun. The project includes stabilizing the stream bed and banks with riprap in the sewer pipe crossing area. Weather permitting, the project is expected to be completed by late February 2026.
The project is part of the County’s Department of Public Works’ (DPW) ongoing efforts to protect this critical infrastructure to ensure continued and reliable sewer service, as well as to prevent any potential environmental impact to the Little Patuxent River.
While the project is not expected to impact the flow of vehicular and pedestrian traffic in the area, signs have been posted to alert community members of the construction work, which is expected to take place Monday through Saturday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
