News from and about Cecil County’s business community: Haiden’s Coffee & Cafe is even busier now that it has doubled in size and increased its seating options for customers. Jennifer Granger, owner of the business at 1610 West Pulaski Highway in Elkton, said she needed more seating and added the more than 1500-square-foot addition. Now customers can sit in a window-filled cafe. “We wanted a space where people could sit and visit,” she said. She even has seating on a patio to the rear of the addition. Granger said the Haiden Cold Foam Coffee remains a customer favorite, as do the cinnamon rolls, and their Original Breakfast Sandwich. “We make our own bagels and sourdough bread,” she said. Haiden’s may also be the only restaurant in Cecil County offering pulla. “That’s a Finnish cardamon bread,” Granger said of the popular item baked in house.

PERRYVILLE — The section of Belvidere Road that travels over Interstate 95 will be closed to traffic from Nov. 6 through Nov. 16, according to the Maryland Transportation Authority. This is part of the construction of the new interchange for I-95. Belvidere Road is being widened to four lanes for the ingress and egress on and off the interstate. ”The work includes improvements to Belvidere Road to accommodate the interchange and larger bridge structure,” an MDTA spokesman said. “The project will replace the existing overpass and construct new ramps connecting Belvidere Road to I-95.” When it was officially launched by then-Gov. Larry Hogan in October 2022, the plan was to have it completed by 2025. MDTA has not announced a new completion date. The $65 million project aims to reduce truck traffic on US Route 40 and Maryland Routes 222 and 272. Traffic will be detoured via Theodore Road.
