ELLICOTT CITY, MD – A Howard County construction project to install approximately 3,900 linear feet of six-, eight-, 12-inch, and 14-inch water distribution main loops along Mission Road in Jessup, as well as Samuel Morse Drive and the Columbia Gateway Corporate Center in Columbia and, is expected to begin on or about Monday, May 18th. Weather permitting, the project is expected to be completed by late February 2027.
Signs will be posted to alert motorists and residents of the construction, and flagging operations will be in place to direct traffic through the work zone, as lane closure may occur along Samuel Morris Drive during construction hours, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
While the County and its transportation partners work hard to maintain safe traffic mobility in work zones, drivers are reminded to stay alert and look for reduced speed limits, narrow driving lanes and highway workers. Please slow down and don’t follow too closely when traveling through a work zone. Remember, work zone safety is in your hands.
