Route 611 Repaving Project To Continue Through April

WEST OCEAN CITY — State Highway Administration (SHA) contractors on Monday began two simultaneous projects on Route 611 in West Ocean City that will create some headaches and detours this week and beyond.

On Monday, SHA contractors began replacing aging drainage pipes along Route 611 in a stretch from Antique Road to Landings Boulevard. As a result, the stretch of Route 611 in that area will be closed each day from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and traffic will be detoured during that segment of the project, which is expected to be completed by Friday.

Motorists attempting to access the south end of Route 611 to areas such as Assateague Island and the South Points area, for example, will be detoured to Route 50, then to Route 113. From Route 113 in Berlin, traffic will be detoured back along Route 376, or Assateague Road, to Route 611. Drivers should expect delays and added commute times during the project.
