Residents of Carroll County might need to adjust their travel plans, as the Department of Public Works has embarked on a construction project that will temporarily close Hughes Shop Rd at the intersection with Pleasant Valley Rd. The reason behind the disruption is a necessary structure replacement, which means Hughes Shop Rd will be off-limits for an unspecified period. Carroll County authorities have promised to post detour routes to aid travelers during this period.

Taking the time to fully replace the deteriorating structure is expected to, indirectly affect the daily commutes and routines for many. “Carroll County appreciates the public’s patience and cooperation with any travel delays or difficulties that this roadway closure and construction project may result in,” Carroll County stated in a statement released early today.

Those seeking further details or answers to pressing queries concerning the construction have been directed to make contact with the Bureau of Engineering. The county urges residents or concerned commuters to call (410) 386-2157 and select Option 1 for additional insights or assistance arising from the temporary closure.
