A portion of Belvidere Road will close Nov. 6-16

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.

Sinkhole closes North Ogle Street in Charlestown

CHARLESTOWN — Town officials closed North Ogle Street briefly Thursday morning after discovering a large portion of the street sinking. “We’re trying to figure out what’s causing it,” said Ken Hamilton, town administrator. One of the causes of the sinkhole might be an underground spring, he said. He noted that heavy construction equipment connected to a Cecil County wastewater treatment project may be partly to blame. “Allan Myers has been running equipment down there,” he said. Allan Myers is a construction and paving contractor with a location in Cecil County. Bobby Straiton, Charlestown’s Public Works chief, said while the sunken portion itself is about 6-by-5-feet, the compromised asphalt measures 20-feet-by-8. The asphalt had not yet opened but was severely cracked and sunken down. “We closed it down for safety reasons,” Hamilton said. The road is now re-opened with steel plates in place as a stop gap. Any repairs will have to take certain infrastructure into play, he added. “There’s a town water line that runs down that side of the street and a sewer line on the other,” Hamilton said. Sawhorses were blocking the road Thursday morning, but Hamilton said steel plates were brought in to open the road for
