Project To Impact Motorists Through Late Autumn, 2015

A months-long transportation project will limit motorists to just one lane of traffic while crossing the Route 113 bridge that is a major connection between Worcester and Somerset counties.

The State Highway Administration is replacing the existing decks for the two northbound lanes of the Route 113 bridge and resurfacing the two southbound decks crossing the Pocomoke River.

Earlier this spring, preliminary work on the project began underneath the bridge. On May 5, SHA closed both southbound lanes and switched traffic using a temporary median crossover just north of the Pocomoke River. After the southbound bridge decks are resurfaced in late fall, SHA will reopen the southbound lanes and northbound traffic will use a second temporary single lane to cross over the median just south of the bridge.
