FREDERICK, MD – The Frederick County Office of Highway Operations announced that there will be a temporary road closure on Sumantown Road at the bridge over Catoctin Creek between Old Middletown Road and Maryland Route 383 (Broad Run Rd). The closure will start on or about Monday, April 23, 2018, and will last approximately four weeks, weather permitting.
