EASTON, MARYLAND — Drivers on Bay Street in Easton should expect single-lane closures, lane shifts and flaggers on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. for about two weeks while the State Highway Administration rebuilds the storm drains under the road between Easton Parkway and Hammond Street.
The work on MD 33 (Bay Street), between MD 322 (Easton Parkway) and Hammond Street, was scheduled to begin Monday, Oct. 26, and is expected to last about two weeks, weather permitting, the agency said in an Oct. 19 release.
Crews will dig out and remove deteriorated pipes and structures, put in new reinforced concrete pipe and precast inlets, and rebuild the curb, gutter and roadway. The agency says the project will restore proper stormwater management along a busy stretch of MD 33 and address undermining of the roadway.
Getting into and out of Hammond Street may be briefly affected, but the agency says it will keep access open to all homes and businesses throughout construction.
The release does not give a cost or name a contractor.
Because the work area sits next to a historic African American cemetery dating to the 1800s, the agency will have an archaeologist on site to monitor the digging.
