Bridge Will Be Closed to All Pedestrians 24/7 through Late Summer
June 13, 2024 – The Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration will begin cleaning and painting the MD 125 (Old Court Road / Woodstock Road) bridge over the Patapsco River in the vicinity of the Patapsco Valley State Park at the Baltimore/Howard County line on Monday, June 17. The project should be complete by early fall, weather permitting.
Beginning at 9 a.m. Monday, motorists should expect temporary daytime lane closures with flagging operations in the vicinity of the bridge weekdays between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. and at night Sundays through Thursdays between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. the next day through early July for staging of work zone barriers and equipment on the bridge.
The State Highway Administration advises Patapsco Valley State Park users on the State Park Thru Trail in Baltimore County and the Woodstock Station Trail Head in Howard County that the MD 125 bridge will be temporarily closed to all pedestrians 24 hours a day for the duration of the work.
Once the work zone area set-up is complete in early July, the bridge will be open to vehicles and bicycles with both travel lanes open, although the shoulders will remain closed. Drivers are reminder to pay extra attention for pedestrians and bicyclists.
