SHA CLOSES W. ISABELLA - MILL ST NOV. 7

Street Closure Postponed to November 7 and Extends through late November
 

(November 5, 2012) – As the result of impacts from Hurricane Sandy the Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) will now close the intersection of West Isabella Street and Mill Street on Wednesday, November 7. Weather permitting, this intersection closure and detour will remain in effect until late this month.

As part of an 18-month drainage improvement project in Salisbury, the West Isabella Street and Mill Street intersection closure and detour will allow the contractor to install a drainage pipe under the railroad track crossing on West Isabella Street.

SHA is providing access to homes and businesses in the project areas by establishing local detours.  Access to businesses located on Mill Street will be available at all times to motorists traveling from US 50.  SHA will use detour signs, cones and barrels to guide motorists through the work zone.

The overall drainage project will continue along West Isabella Street, Park Avenue and William Street, and along both sides of US 13 Business to north of London Avenue through summer 2014, weather permitting. SHA is working with the City of Salisbury to ensure minimal disruption of public utilities to property owners.

While SHA and its transportation partners work hard to maintain safe traffic mobility in work zones, each driver needs to actively modify his or her driving style to help prevent crashes. Stay alert and look for reduced speed limits, narrow driving lanes and highway workers.  Slow down and don’t follow too closely.   Safer driving. Safer work zones. For everyone!
