Elkridge residents can brace themselves for construction sounds as a new water main replacement project soon hits Levering Avenue. Starting on or around October 21, Howard County has announced a major infrastructure project to replace the aging 12-inch waterline that crosses the Patapsco River near the 5900 block of River Road. Aiming to improve water delivery, the project is expected to be completed by early January 2025, pending favorable weather conditions.
The good news for locals is that construction won’t interfere with daily commutes. No major traffic delays are expected, though signs will be posted to inform drivers and pedestrians about the work. Water services for nearby residents will also stay unaffected during the project.
Howard County stresses the need for safety, even though water flow and traffic won't be affected. The county reminds drivers to stay alert for reduced speed limits, narrow lanes, and workers in the area. Drivers are urged to slow down and keep a safe distance from other vehicles while passing through the worksite.
