Resort’s Median Project ‘Still On Track For Memorial Day’ Completion


OCEAN CITY — While it currently resembles a war zone, the median fence and enhanced lighting project on Coastal Highway remains on target for a completion before Memorial Day weekend, State Highway Administration (SHA) officials reported this week.

SHA and its private contractors continued work on the median project from the convention center to Route 90 this week, and while to many it appears the project is not moving along as quickly as some would like, it is coming together as planned. With the calendar flipping to May this week and vastly improving weather, the midtown project is snarling increased traffic with a maze of orange barrels, flashing signs and milled and unpaved road surfaces, but SHA officials this week assured the council the final product would be delivered by Memorial Day weekend as promised.

“We’re still on track for Memorial Day,” said SHA Assistant District Manager-Construction Brett Deane. “We’re going to move heaven and earth if we have to, but we’re going to get it done.”
