STATE HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION TO REPAIR ROCK SPRING ROAD IN HARFORD COUNTY
Motorists Advised to Plan Ahead for Extra Travel Time, Lane Closures and Flagging Operations in Work Zone
The Maryland Department of Transportation’s State Highway Administration (SHA) is beginning a $145,000 project to repair pavement along MD 24 (Rock Spring Road) between Red Pump Road and the US 1 Bypass overpass in Bel Air.
Beginning on or after Monday, November 15, contractor crews will concrete patch areas along MD 24 with lane closures permitted between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Monday through Friday, and between 6 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturday. During road work, there may be lane shifts and lane closures, with flagpersons controlling two-way traffic within the work zone. SHA advises motorists to plan ahead for extra travel time along MD 24 during the next several weeks.
There will be no planned lane closures along this section of MD 24 during the Thanksgiving Day holiday weekend (noon Wednesday, November 24 to 9 a.m. Monday, November 29).
The MD 24 repair project is made possible through Governor Martin O’Malley’s aggressive management of the requirements of the landmark American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). This project, together with other ARRA projects, is stimulating Maryland’s economy by preserving and creating jobs. The State’s contractor for the resurfacing project is Gray and Son, Inc. of Timonium, Md. Weather permitting, SHA anticipates completing the repair work by late December.

Observer says
“The … repair project is made possible through Governor Martin O’Malley’s aggressive management of the requirements of the landmark American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).” The byline says this was written by the Dagger News Service. It reads like it was written by Marty’s PR flack, especially in that the quoted phrase appears more than once in this article. You already won the election, MOM, you don’t have to rub it in. We know you’re wildly spending money that was suctioned out of our pockets; we know you’re getting ready to do it to us again. (You really don’t believe we trust you when you say the General Assembly raises taxes, do you? They just say “How high?” while they’re going up as soon as you whisper “Raise taxes!!”) What I don’t understand is this: If that liberal icon John F. Kennedy understood that governments made more money off lower tax rates through increased productivity, why do today’s liberals insist on leaving us with pocket change by taxing us back to the Stone Age?
Commanding a bar band is Martin O’Malley’s first best destiny. Anything else is a waste of talent.
