MDOT SHA IMPROVING ROAD SURFACE ON MD 27 (MANCHESTER ROAD) IN CARROLL COUNTY 

(March 15, 2021) – The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) is improving the road surface of a nearly three-mile section of MD 27 (Manchester Road) in the Westminster area of Carroll County. This morning, crews began patching the roadway between MD 482 (Hampstead Mexico Road) and MD 140 (Baltimore Boulevard). The project is expected to be complete by April.  

MDOT SHA’s contractor, C.J. Miller, LLC, is scheduled to work 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday. Crews will use a flagging operation, cones and signs to alert motorists and guide them through the work zone.

MDOT SHA works hard to maintain safe traffic mobility in work zones for our crews as well as our customers.  Drivers need to stay alert, focus on driving and, look for reduced speed limits, as well as other driving pattern changes.  Drive like you work here and slow down in construction zones.
