Traffic Changes for street construction on Maryland Avenue

 

 

The City of Cumberland announces the following changes in traffic patterns due to the street construction for the project “Maryland Avenue – Jefferson Street to Short Street”.

 

On or about Monday April 12, 2010 the following changes to traffic will occur:

 

·         Maryland Avenue from Jefferson Street to Short Street will be closed to traffic for construction.

·         Maryland Avenue from Oldtown Road to Short Street will be closed to thru traffic, but will remain open for local residents and businesses.

·         Northbound thru traffic on Maryland Avenue will be detoured via Oldtown Road, Louisiana Avenue, and Williams Street; before returning to Maryland Avenue.

·         Southbound thru traffic on Maryland Avenue will be detoured via Williams Street, Louisiana Avenue, and Oldtown Road; before returning to Maryland Avenue.

·         Baker Street between Jefferson Street and Maryland Avenue will be closed to thru traffic, but will remain open for local residents.

 

These changes will remain in effect for the duration of this project. When possible, local residents of the closed portion of Maryland Avenue will be allowed to park on the closed section street at night; but all vehicles must be moved from the street by 6:30 AM (or the start of the construction day) to allow construction to continue. Vehicles not moved by the start of construction each morning will be towed.

 

Please slow down, stay alert, pay attention to the warning signs and new or changed traffic signs, and obey the road crew flaggers. During construction motorists can expect delays, street closures, and detours.
