Current Status
UPDATE: The project re-advertised on January 14, 2020 as Bid No. 20-283-CP and Bid Opening occurred on February 20, 2020. The bid review and award phase phase took longer than anticipated, but the project contract is now finally awarded. On October 2, 2020, the contract was awarded to W.F. Delauter & Son, Inc. in the total contract amount of $3,654,032.89.
A Pre-Construction Meeting with the County and Contractor was held on October 15, 2020. The Notice-to-Proceed (NTP) date (Construction start) is November 30, 2020. Once the project schedule has been accepted, a project schedule/timeline will be posted on this webpage. A full-time road closure for the majority of construction duration and completion of the project will be required. Per the project contract, the duration for project completion is 430 calendar days. However, there is an incentive/disincentive special provision to open the road to traffic by the 360th calendar day. Therefore, the full-time road closure will be in effect for 360 calendar days (pending unforeseen circumstances or unforeseen weather) and NOT for the full contract duration of 430 calendar days.
Advance notification of the bridge closure is now posted at the bridge site and sent via public notification and a resident Newsletter was mailed to area residents (see Public Notifications and Notices section below for both notices). Gas House House Pike at the Bridge over Linganore Creek will be closed on or about December 7, 2020. A signed detour will be in effect and will utilize McKaig Road, Old Annapolis Road, Green Valley Road (MD 75), Drummine Road, Central Church Road, and Gas House Pike. Construction completion is estimated for early spring 2022, pending unforeseen weather or unforeseen conditions.
