State Highway Administration to resurface a section of US 13 Southbound (Ocean Highway) in Wicomico County Next Week
ANNAPOLIS – The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration will improve sections of pavement on US 13 southbound (Ocean Highway) between north of Stockyard Road and the Somerset County Line next week. This work should be completed by mid-November, weather permitting.
On Oct. 14, crews will begin milling (removing the top layer of asphalt) the roadway to prepare for paving. Crews will work weekdays, 7 a.m.to 6 p.m. During work hours, motorists can expect single-lane closures and flagging operations throughout the duration of the project.
The State Highway Administration’s contractor, Allan Myers of Dover, Delaware will use arrow boards, cones, and flaggers to safely guide motorists through the work zone. Drivers should expect major traffic impacts with significant delays during work hours.
“The State Highway Administration works hard to maintain safe traffic mobility in work zones for our crews as well as our customers,” a statement from the agency said. “Drivers need to stay alert, focus on driving, and look for reduced speed limits as well as other traffic pattern changes. Hot asphalt may require up to two hours to cool before drivers and pedestrians can safely cross the new road surface. Motorcyclists are urged to be aware of uneven pavement surfaces during the project.”
