Site work and paving for a civil project in Dickerson, Maryland. Conceptual plans call for site work for a bridge / tunnel; and for paving for a bridge / tunnel.

This project provides for the replacement of the existing Mouth of Monocacy Road Bridge over Little Monocacy River. The existing bridge, built in 1971, is a 49-foot long single span structure with steel beams and corrugated metal deck. The existing clear roadway width is 14'-9" with one lane on the bridge carrying two-way traffic. The proposed replacement bridge includes a single span steel beam structure carrying a 14'-9" roadway. The Scope of Work is being revised to a full structure replacement rather than a superstructure replacement due to the existing abutments are not founded on rock and have experienced undermining and re-sedimentation during the life of the bridge. The proposed structure will utilize drilled shaft supported abutments behind the existing cantilever abutments to support a slightly longer steel superstructure. The project includes approach roadway work at each end of the bridge to tie into the existing roadway. The bridge and road will be closed to traffic during construction. Accelerated bridge construction techniques will be utilized to minimize the disruption to the traveling public and local community. This project is included in the county's fy 2025-2030 Capital Improvement Program. As of August 5, 2024, further details regarding construction and completion timelines have not been released. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
